Features of Tojiro Zen
Zen blade
Zen kitchen knives feature a laminated blade consisting of three layers of steel. The core is made of VG10 steel, with 13-chrome stainless steel on either side. This ensures a strong and flexible blade with excellent cutting performance, and it's easy to maintain. This forging technique is very well known in Japan and you see it a lot on Japanese kitchen knives.
Zen handle
The handle is made of magnolia wood with a bolster made from black polypropylene. The magnolia wood is very lightweight, and the black bolster provides a nice contrast. The handle has a traditional Japanese D-shape. This means the handle is asymmetrical and therefore fits extra snugly in the palm of your hand. It's a typical Japanese feature!
