Absolutely love this knife. I researched for hours what kind of gyuto I wanted to add to my my home kitchen and finally decided on the Tojiro DP 8 inch (210 mm or 21cm) because of the great reviews and excellent steel of the blade. A gyuto knife is simply the Japanese equivalent of the Western chef knife and is an all-purpose knife used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. I found the Tojiro to fit very well in my hands. I have small to medium sized hands and these fit very nicely. Not too heavy and the grip is solid. The handle is of a Western style and is not one of those lightweight cheap plastic handles. The blade is constructed of a very, very sharp VG-10 core steel with a spine thickness of 1.9mm. I've worked with Globals and also have a Kyocera ceramic and this knife is the knife I grab when I'm in the kitchen. Coming in at 7.2 oz it's heavier than my Global and Kyocera ceramic, but it's definitely much lighter than the Wusthof Ikon that I've handled and Western knives.
The Tojiro handles meat with ease. Cuts through chicken and beef with minimal effort and I can make paper thin cuts of steak. It's also great for cutting green onions, brown onions, broccoli, napa cabbage, etc. It's sharp! I'm not experienced with sharpening knives, and hopefully someday I will learn but another reason I chose the Tojiro was because it's a great beginner's knife to learn how to sharpen on a whetstone.
I've looked into so many Japanese gyutos and finally came back to this one because of everyone's recommendations and I can't be more happy about my decision. I've looked into many higher priced Japanese knives such as Shun, but because they are technically made of the same VG-10 steel and the Shun Classic line was also a lot more expensive I felt that the Tojiro fit the budget and has by far exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend and I'd say if you're looking for your first gyuto get the Tojiro DP! You can't go wrong with the price and quality!
I've used this knife almost daily for the past few weeks and can confidently say that a step above the other, cheaper knives that I've tried. The knife I received was in new condition and came in a nice gift box. It was relatively sharp, but after a few passes on a whetstone it was like a laser, slicing through meat and vegetables with ease. More importantly, it has retained its sharpness even after a few weeks of relatively hard use. Not sure how to verify that it's made out of VG10 but it has noticeably better edge retention than any other knife I've tried and shows no signs of rust.
Buy with confidence. For ~$100, this is the best Japanese knife on the market.
