At 170mm, this is a medium-length blade that sits comfortably between a paring knife and a full chef's knife, making it one of the most-reached-for knives in a working kitchen. Tojiro's DP3 construction places a VG10 high-cobalt core at the cutting edge - a steel prized for its hardness and edge retention - clad in high-chrome stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability. At 60 HRC, the blade holds a keen edge through heavy daily use. The knife is handcrafted in Niigata, Japan's knife-making capital, and finished by hand for an impeccable edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only, never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oppenheimer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32758549086286,"sku":"TF-503","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/TF-503Santoku.jpg?v=1606480061","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/tojiro-dp3-santoku-knife-170mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
