Tojiro works out of Tsubame in Niigata and writes left-handed models straight into the catalogue with their own codes: F-635L and F-636L are the PRO deba at 150 and 165 mm, and the Fujitora lines add left-ground yanagiba. The PRO series uses a VG10 core clad in 13 chrome stainless, which gives a single bevel that tolerates a busy sink better than white steel does, at prices well under the Sakai custom shops.
The brand site is a catalogue rather than a shop, so buying in the States goes through Japanese knife specialists such as Seisuke Knife in Portland or Hitachiya USA, plus the usual marketplace listings. Left-handed items are produced in small runs, so stock comes and goes. Enquiries reach the head office through a web form; the Tsubame number is +81 256 63 7151.
