For these knife purists, Togiharu Virgin Steel Knives are made with the same level of carbon steel as a Japanese yanagi. The Togiharu carbon line is crafted out of junkou steel (virgin carbon) with a bacteria resistant polyacetal resin handle. The purity of the junkou carbon steel makes the blade harder, which allows it to hold a sharper edge for a longer period of time. Professionals agree that carbon knives can teach cooks how to be organized and care for their tools.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Togiharu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003eTogiharu was created with the user in mind. The Togiharu brand was created for functionality and is most affordable brand of knives. The brand name was derived from Grand Master sharpener Shouzou Mizuyama’s father’s sharpening store. Master Mizuyama’s father was a celebrated sharpener in his own right, having received recognition from the emperor for his traditional sharpening skills. Togiharu knives are produced by a highly respected knife maker in Japan who manufactures the top-name Japanese brands. The difference in the Togiharu lines lies in the quality control and hand-finishing aspects of production. These knives are inspected one-by-one for quality - they are not mass handled. The final edge finishing process is done by hand, ensuring unparalleled sharpness right out of the box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurpose of Sujihiki \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe sujihiki is a slicing knife intended for slicing boneless fish filets. It can also be used to slice boneless roasts, hams and poultry breasts. The short height of the blade creates less friction when slicing and the blade draws through fish and meat effortlessly using the entire length of the blade. The sujihiki is the Western-style equivalent the traditional yanagi knife.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" href=\"#collapse-0\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"products-specifications-accordion-card-header\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"products-specifications-accordion-title\"\u003eSpecifications\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 30 18\" height=\"18\" width=\"30\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"black\" d=\"M14.9947 17.2428L0 2.24814L2.24814 0L14.9947 12.7466L27.7413 0L30 2.24814L22.4973 9.74549L14.9947 17.2428Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" data-parent=\".products-specifications-container\" class=\"products-specifications-accordion-body collapse in\" id=\"collapse-0\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.9271%;
