Grind of the blade is symmetrical in european style.

Handle:

Made from Rosewood with impregnation that prevents swelling and extends the service life.

Tree is more pleasant to the touch and has a lively non-repeating noble pattern.

The middle handle, with a convenient geometry, normally fits in both the female hand and the large male palm.

Balance a bit ahead.

It should be noted that knives with a handle made of wood, despite the high-quality processing, are not designed for washing in dishwashers and sterilization, which is sometimes a prerequisite for cafés and restaurants.

For use in industrial environments, we have presented a great series of Kanetsugu PRO-S, Tojiro-Pro and Tojiro-Color, with stainless steel or high-tech polymer handles designed for sterilization.
