With one side sharpened almost vertically and the other formed into a special 'clam shape'. This method ensures a cleaner cut by not damaging the fibres of the food, keeping it fresher and improving the taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis technique is passed down to very few craftsmen due to the high level of skill involved to master it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery knife made by TOSHU is sharpened personally by Mr Tozaki Takanori, the second Generation and Face of TOSHU Knives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Tozaki-sans hand sharpening is clearly visible on each blade.
