The SHARAKU MONO series was TOJIRO’s answer to the highly popular Global knives, even sharing the same designer, the renowned Komin Yamada.
Its distinctive angular pattern calls to mind a traditional samurai sword, whilst the black square motif represents a row of urban windows.
The blades are made from Molybdenum Vanadium steel to offer a good cutting performance and high levels of durability.It represents excellent value for money, which is further highlighted by both of the Knife Sets we are offering to promote during this period.
The Fujitora factory of Niigata Japan aspired to produce a commercially successful knife that would be accessible to professional and amateur chefs alike. Their strategy saw them link up with the most famous of Japanese housewares designers, Komin Yamada who also designed the Global knife series to produce a series of quality yet value Japanese knives. The result was the development of the Tojiro Sha Ra Ku Mono series, made from a Molybdenum Vanadium steel to offer superior cutting performance and durability. The knives feature an elegant and stylish sweeping design evoking the history of the traditional Samurai katana sword. The handles of the knives are made from stainless steel and are hollow, making these knives feel extremely light. Tojiro Sha Ra Ku Mono knives are good value for a range of high carbon Japanese steel knives and have a hardness of 56 HRC.
