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\u003cb\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/b\u003e  Japan\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 a more 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurpose of Gyuto \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Gyuto is a versatile chef's knife.
