Handmade in Seki

Samurai swords have been made in Seki for 800 years. Now the best kitchen knives in the world are produced there. Eight craftsmen are needed to make a Samurai sword, each a specialist in one part of the process. That is how to achieve the absolute best quality. At TOG we follow the same philosophy. Our blades are passed between eight tiny, specialised companies in Seki. Each knife is unique. We number each blade in celebration of these differences.

OUR STEELS

We have worked with our partners in Seki to create TOG’s unique 21 and 17 layer steels. These contain alternating layers of antimicrobial copper which give TOG knives their distinctive stripes. Like a Samurai sword, these steels have a hard central core steel for sharpness, surrounded by softer steel layers for strength.

KEBONY MAPLE HANDLES

The handle of a knife is every bit as important than the blade. Ask a chef. We believe our handles are as comfortable as any in the world. We designed a unique ‘side scoop’ for added control. They are made from Kebony maple wood as it is natural, sustainable, water resistant and beautiful. Finally, to celebrate old and new coming together – a key aspect of Japanese culture – we have laser etched a 600 year old pattern on to each handle as a grip.

""If you are looking to invest in only one quality knife in your lifetime, you should seriously consider a TOG.""

Nicely made, attractive design. Nice

"Nicely made, attractive design. Nice to use, only gripe is the end of the handle would be comfier to use if it was rounded off. It digs into my hand."

I tried to contact your

"I tried to contact your customer service almost 10 times. Every time there was a bot answering, it was almost impossible to get in touch. Luckily I had old emails that I could contact through. A normal customer would not have been able to get in touch. So it didn't go very well."

Unfortunatelly, I stilll haven t

"Unfortunatelly, I stilll haven t received my order. I ordered on 28th of November. Since the 5th of December the tracking says the packge is in Surrey. I have sent multiple emails, only talked to robots, I have tried calling and the phone is out of service appearently. The products wer a present for a birthday on 13tj of December. That s passed now. It is horrinle to be stuck with 330 euro right before Christmas, in an order that seems to have vanished, trying to contact a company that behaves like a scammer. This is the worst experience ever. Nobody gets back yo me, i got no legit response for the past week. I will definitely not order again or recommend"

"I bought this for my dads 50th, hes always provided for me and asked nothing in return, so the least i could do was buy him something i knew he would enjoy as hes always cooked in my household (and does an amazing job at it). Everything you provided has been nothing short of exceptional, from the shipping time to the quality of the product, everythings been perfect. Thanks for helping make his 50th, you really pulled through Henry."
