Utility Knife 5” Aka Tori Tokyo Black with engraving
This is the most popular and best-selling kitchen knife. Its popularity comes mainly from its size. It works perfectly even in smaller kitchens or on limited countertop space, and is very easy to store. It is over half the weight of a chef’s knife or Santoku, making it extremely comfortable to use. It is also an excellent gift choice – highly practical and likely to be used every day.
Natural handle and finish
In this line, part of the blade steel is left unpolished and finished in black. It is combined with a beautiful ebony handle set in buffalo horn. All handle materials are natural, not composites or plastic. The hexagonal handle shape ensures a secure and comfortable grip.
Due to the unique structure of natural materials, the handle color may slightly vary, making each piece unique.
Lifetime service
The Tokyo Black line is not the easiest to maintain, but there is nothing to worry about. You will not spend your life caring for it. With a little attention it will serve you for a lifetime. We provide a lifetime warranty. As a Polish brand, we design knives meant to be passed down.
Elegant packaging – ready gift
Luxury is in the details. Each knife is packaged in an elegant premium gift box combining minimalist design with Japanese aesthetics, making it a perfect ready-to-give gift for weddings, anniversaries, or birthdays.
Care instructions
Do not wash in a dishwasher. Do not leave in the sink with other utensils. After use, wash under running water and dry thoroughly. Occasionally oil the handle with a small amount of olive oil.
The blade edge angle is 15° per side. Maintain sharpness by hand sharpening on water stones or using ceramic rods for regular touch-ups.
Traditional tsuchime technique
Tsuchime is a hammered texture found in traditional handcrafted blades. It reduces food sticking to the blade and also adds a unique aesthetic character.
