Frequently Asked Questions

What type of steel is used in the Tojiro REPPU FD-1360 knife?

The blade is made of SG2 powder-metalled stainless steel with a 3-layer San Mai laminate construction. SG2 is a high-quality powder-metalled steel known for its exceptional sharpness and wear resistance. The blade has a hardness of 62–63 HRC, which ranks it among the hardest steels used in kitchen knives.

What does the term "Kiritsuke" mean when referring to a kitchen knife?

Kiritsuke is a Japanese blade tip shape characterized by an angular, beveled edge. This shape facilitates precise and intricate cutting while giving the knife a more aggressive and distinctive appearance. In the Tojiro REPPU model, this shape is applied to the Petty style—a small utility knife with a blade length of 150 mm.

What material is the handle made of, and why was teak chosen?

The handle of the Tojiro REPPU FD-1360 is made of teak and has an octagonal shape. Teak was chosen for its natural resistance to moisture and mold, making it a suitable material for the kitchen environment. The octagonal shape provides a secure grip and good control when using the knife.

Can the Tojiro REPPU knife be washed in the dishwasher?

No, the knife should not be washed in the dishwasher. Harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage both the blade and the wooden handle. It is recommended that you wash the knife by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it immediately.

How do you properly sharpen a knife with an SG2 steel blade?

Due to the high hardness of SG2 steel (62–63 HRC), it is recommended to use sharpening stones of sufficient hardness—such as ceramic or diamond—to maintain the edge. It is more important to sharpen the knife regularly while it is still relatively sharp than to wait until it is completely dull. Frequent, light sharpening is significantly more effective than infrequent, intensive sharpening.

What kind of cutting boards are suitable for cutting with this knife?

It is recommended to use a plastic or wooden cutting board. Bamboo cutting boards are not suitable because they are hard and can damage the cutting edge. Glass cutting boards and porcelain plates are completely unsuitable—they quickly dull even the highest-quality blade.
