Experience the Knife Made for the Perfect Slice of Sashimi
The Tojiro DP3 Sashimi Knife 240mm is a specialist blade built for one purpose - drawing clean, single-stroke cuts through fish with zero tearing. At 240mm, it has the length to slice through a whole fillet in one fluid motion, delivering the clean face that sashimi demands.
A sashimi knife is a study in restraint - long, thin, and ground on one side only. The single bevel edge is what separates a true sashimi knife from a general slicer: it allows the blade to glide along the flat side while the hollow grind on the back prevents the fish from sticking, producing a cut face that is smooth and clean rather than compressed or torn. Tojiro's DP3 construction brings a VG10 high-cobalt core to the cutting edge - a steel chosen for its hardness and edge retention - clad in high-chrome stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. At 60 HRC, the blade holds a fine edge through repeated use. Handcrafted in Niigata, Japan's knife-making capital, and hand-polished to an impeccable finish.
