Tojiro Senkou Knives

Tojiro have adopted many traditional sword making techniques in producing knives for the 21st Century which incorporate the same multi-layered blades so painstakingly produced by masters in the past, and which both look and perform as well in a kitchen as their predecessors did in the battle fields. Each knife is carefully assembled and finished, and comes with a full guarantee.

Senkou is Japanese for 'flash' and is a term associated with 'light' and 'inspiration. The Tojiro Senkou's superbly sharp blades, made from DP multi-layered Damascus style steel will certainly help to illuminate and inspire your cooking creations. The blades are manufactured using the same techniques as used in the construction of 'kasumi-nagashi' or 'floating mist' style Samurai swords.

You may have seen these knives on television, as they are a favourite of Heston Blumenthal, 'culinary alchemist' and owner/chef of the Fat Duck, a 3 Star Michelin restaurant.
