Tojiro ZEN Peeling Knife 7cm with beak-shaped blade

The kitchen knives from the ZEN series are highly appreciated by cooks that love knives with beautiful design and great cutting performance. Having a Japanese knife from the Zen series in your kitchen is having a tool of great quality that will make your cooking experience more pleasant. In addition, thanks to their beautiful looks, the Zen kitchen knives made by Tojiro are also  great compliment to your kitchen's decoration.

For instance, one knife that must be present in every kitchen is the Tojiro ZEN Peeling Knife. This small but super useful knife is ideal for peeling all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Thanks to its beak-shaped blade, this knife is particularly great for peeling round foods such as apples and potatoes. Let's not forget also that its small size makes it a tool super easy to store away when you are not using it.

Without any doubt, the most remarkable feature of this knife is its blade. With only 7 centimeters of length, this blade differentiates from the rest due to its original shape that resembles the beak of a bird.  The blade is made of 3 layers of VG10 steel, which is high-quality type of Japanese steel characterised for its high content of carbon. In addition, the blade has a hardness rating of 61 HRC in the Rockwell scale, which is a clear proof of its strength and robustness.

Another important feature of this knife is its beautiful handle. Having a traditional Japanese look, this handle is made of white oak wood, and it is connected to the blade through a black bolster that is made of polypropylene. Besides its astonishing beauty, this handle is also distinguished for its pleasant grip that lets you have full control of the knife at all times.

When you have a knife of such great beauty and quality in your kitchen, you need to take good care of it in order to make sure that you can enjoy it for a long period of time. For example, one of the most important recommendations to take good care of this knife is to always wash it by hand. Furthermore, when it comes to sharpening the blade, this knife needs a whetstone with a fine grit, because a coarse grit could damage the edge of the blade.

This knife and all the knives from the Zen series are made in Niigata, Japan by the brand Tojiro. This brand has more than 60 years of experience in the cutlery industry. Thanks to the great quality of its products, Tojiro is nowadays one of the most preferred brands of Japanese knives among professional and home cooks from all around the world.
