The Tojiro DP kitchen knives are some of the most popular knives in the world of Japanese kitchen cutlery. Outstanding bang for the buck attributes head the list of great things about these well-crafted, nicely finished, and great performing blades.
The DP series boasts excellent treatment of the VG-10 core steel which results in extreme keenness without sacrificing edge integrity or retention. The core VG-10 steel is laminated with softer stainless steel to enhance the ease at which the knife can be sharpened and provides an element of support and ductility to the harder core. The Tojiro 180mm Petty has a very nicely tapered spine which makes the knife feel light and nimble in the hand. The slim profile is absolutely lovely, giving the knife an ability to handle smaller prep work and boning tasks with ease.
The blade is coupled to a durable Western handle made of black micarta which is attached to the superbly finished stainless bolster and tang with three stainless steel rivets. Tojiro DP is one of the bestselling introductory lines of Japanese knives on the market and this fine petty is a perfect introduction to the brand and Japanese knives in general.Brand: Tojiro

This is an outstanding knife for the value. Sharp out of the box, although one can get a much better edge if they know what they're doing. Very low maintenance. Excellent balance. Nimble to use. Fit and finish surprisingly good for the price. Great way to get Japanese steel and performance.
