Specifications from Central Milling's own page. We do not test equipment hands-on: fit and lift answers are our arithmetic on these figures. How we compare.
The Tojiro gives its blade, 270 mm, and its overall length, 410 mm (16.1 in); Central Milling gives only the overall size, 15 × 2 × 1 in, and says the knife is long enough for a sourdough round.
