Established in 1953 in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture, TOJIRO Co., Ltd. is a renowned manufacturer of both stamped and forged blades. It is one of the few companies in Japan capable of handling the entire manufacturing process in-house, from die-cutting raw materials to the final edging of the blade. Their knives offer more than exceptional sharpness—they provide customers with the satisfaction of owning the finest tools, designed to fit comfortably in their hands.
TOJIRO has exhibited annually at Ambiente, a leading international trade fair in Germany, since 2004.It now exports its products to approximately 50 countries worldwide. The company’s products have gained global acclaim, spanning from everyday kitchen knives to professional-grade knives prized by winners of the Bocuse d’Or, a prestigious world cooking competition in France.
TOJIRO ATELIER CLASSIC Series: These Western-style kitchen knives are forged by expert craftsmen and are extremely popular in stores. They feature a 63-layer Damascus pattern and black finish, the hallmarks of forged products.
TOJIRO PRO Series: These stainless steel knives boast an easy grip and are superbly hygienic. Their specially crafted tornado-pattern handles feature a hollow design that applies Western-style tableware technologies uniquely developed in the Tsubame-Sanjo area and cannot be produced elsewhere. The TOJIRO PRO series includes a wide range of products, both Japanese and Western styles, and won the Good Design Award in 2000.
TOJIRO WAKISASHI series: These blades represent the pinnacle of high-end tableware. They were created in collaboration with a luxury chopstick maker and a Western-style tableware maker based in Tsubame-Sanjo. These blades are made using the same materials as TOJIRO’s kitchen knives and are inspired by traditional Japanese swords. The series was honored with the Red Dot Design Award in 2017, reflecting its exceptional design and quality.
