Love my Tojiro 240 mm kiritsuke in white #2 steel. Gets stupid sharp after 1 minute on the stones.

Yeah. Tojiro was one of my first good kitchen knives.

I just tried a Tojiro 180mm gyuto. I got it for my mom for christmas. 1st knifewear purchase! I finally found a youtube channel i can but awesome merch from! But ya that Tojiro felt pretty good on the bell pepper.

That's awesome, tojiro makes fantastic knives!

Good info on the Tojiro brand! I have my eyes on the Oboro bread knife.

I love the sound effects!

Great video, stuff like this is always interesting to see.

Thanks Grant!

I have a few TOjiro DP knives and they're great but I had no idea how cool the company is!

Very cool. Have a shop close by selling a lot of their knives.

Thanks so much for your work! Ryusen would be nice.

Thank you! We haven't been to their factory with a camera yet, but we definitely will go in future!

I own one Tojiro and it is my favorite knife in the whole block. It is well made in every respect and its SG2 steel is extra sharp and holds its edge longer than my other knives. Appreciate your video and being able to learn more about the Tojiro company and factory...thanks!

SG2 is my favorite core stainless currently offered in Japanese knives. it can go 2 years between sharpenings with proper care. My miyabi mizu 8" chef knife has a 2 year old edge and recently beat my mom's electric slicer. I had to give up on the prime rib and get my knife out of the car. I just got my mom a Tojiro DP 180mm gyuto. The VG10 one for 90 bucks. The thing is crazy sharp!

My best knife is a "production" made Miyabi 240 SG2 Gyuto.. I think it was cheap at $200;.. might not be a hand hammered 200 layer monster, but I love the thing

Hey Nathan can you make a video about the two blanks that Mike and Naoto got from itsuo doi?

My 1st knife was a Tojiro F-332 Do they use natural stones to sharpen SG-2 steel too ?

Hey, generally natural stones are used for high carbon steel rather than stainless steel. At Tojiro they finish with synthetic stones.

I'm kinda bummed that the Atelier blades don't offer wa handles (or no handle) or steel other than VG10. Tojiro themselves do offer shirogami (though not which one[s]) and the generic "powdered high speed steel". Their website doesn't provide any more detail, either. :: sad panda face ::

I feel that, that would be cool! The Atelier factory is still new in the big picture, and they have lots of up and coming young artisans, so hopefully the line will grow in future!

@@KnifewearKnives I think that's one of the great things about smaller forges. The ability to try new things (to them) and still deliver their current line ..and do so much quicker than a large company.. is just such an opportunity!
