Tojiro Senkou 17cm Carving Fork SK-6334

Tojiro Senkou 17cm Carving Fork SK-6334 

A beautiful carving fork to complement the SK-6331 21cm Carving Knife in the Tojiro Senkou knife range. 

"Senkou" is Japanese for "Flash" and is a term associated with light and inspiration. Tojiro's superbly sharp blades, made from DP multi-layered Damascus steel, will certainly help to illuminate and inspire your cooking. 

Japan has a long tradition of knife manufacturing. Over one thousand years ago, Japanese swordsmiths developed the high art of sword making to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, the feared warrior caste. 

Tojiro has adopted many of these traditional techniques, producing knives which incorporate the same multi-layered blades, so painstakingly produced by these masters in the past, which both look and perform as well in the kitchen as their predecessors did in the field. 

The technique of laminating steel was first seen in Damascus, Syria, around 400AD. It was later adopted by Japanese swordsmiths who would fold and hammer many layers of steel into their blades. 

For the Senkou range, Tojiro has allied its remarkable multi-layered Damascus steel blades with comfortable and stylish micarta handles. These handles have an inlay of stainless steel which you can engrave should you wish.
