Tokyo Riki positions Tohri as a value-focused line with named cutters and a 5.75-inch S-25T thinner.
Tokyo Riki’s Tohri catalogue lists P and S cutters plus the S-25T thinner at about 25% removal. Check the exact model rather than a generic steel or price band.

Tohri is one of Tokyo Riki’s house lines. The maker’s catalogue frames it around good quality at an accessible local price and lists a compact set of cutters and a thinner. Tokyo Riki’s company history separates a 1925 predecessor from its 1946 establishment; neither date should be presented as the launch year of Tohri itself.
Tohri’s current range includes P-50, P-55 and P-60 cutters at 5, 5.5 and 6 inches, plus S-45 through S-60 cutter sizes. That makes length and handle feel a better first comparison than a broad claim about steel. If you do mainly base cutting, compare the size that lets your hand hold its working position; ask for a model sheet if the blade material is decisive.
For thinning, Tokyo Riki lists S-25T at 5.75 inches and about 25% cut. That is an estimate for this named shear, not a property shared by every Tokyo Riki thinner. Butterfly and Hakucho have their own model ranges and thinning options.
The previous page quoted one US-dollar price band and called upper-tier Tohri models cobalt without a cited model sheet. The current maker page publishes Japanese catalogue figures instead. Confirm model number, steel, hand, present price and service terms with the seller in your country. Continue with Hakucho or the Japan directory to compare nearby Tokyo Riki lines.
Tokyo Riki makes the Tohri line. Its predecessor dates to 1925 and the current company was established in 1946; neither is a documented Tohri launch date.
The maker catalogue lists S-25T as a 5.75-inch thinner with about 25% removal. Check the model sheet and your intended technique.
The range page does not establish one steel grade across its P and S cutters. Confirm the material of the named model before buying.
