Our Comment
Simple appearance and easy to care for. it cuts and separates a variety of ingredients very well. The Tojiro F-517 SG2 Powered Steel 170m Santoku features a sleek migaki finish.
The blade is ground into a gentle convexity across its height in the primary bevels and sharpened into the standard-size secondary bevels, allowing reduced pressure at the cutting edge while separating most of the ingredients pretty well.
Featuring an SG2 steel core, it offers outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance.
- Edge retention: Poor/Average/Good/Great/Excellent
- Corrosion Maintenance: Low/Average/High

Sharpening
- Touch up and sharpen regularly to remove micro cracks that develop from normal use and corrosion. This will minimise the chance of chipping. We recommend sharpening on whetstones.
- Using fixed cross-blade type pull-through sharpeners is strongly not recommended. They can chip knives instantly only with a little twisting motion.
Care and Use
Use
- Do not attempt twisting or torqueing while cutting.
- Do not cut bones, frozen foods or any other hard objects. Use an appropriate knife like thick blades.
- Using a timber or synthetic rubber cutting board is recommended. Plastic should be fine, but glass, ceramic, or bamboo boards should be avoided.
Cleaning
- Dry well after washing. You may use hot water to assist.
- No dishwasher use.
Storing
- Apply a thin coat of camellia oil, particularly when storing a carbon steel knife for a long period.
- Storing in a cover or sheath that has been contaminated with rust is not recommended.
