With the DP series, Tojiro brings to market an exceptionally high quality, performance oriented kitchen knife line at a very accessible price. VG-10 stainless steel is used in the core of these blades which is carefully treated to extract the perfect balance of durability, edge retention and capability to become wickedly sharp. Clad in softer stainless, these knives are incredibly easy to sharpen. Blade geometry is convex throughout most of the Tojiro DP line with a very nicely tapered spine which makes the knife feel light and nimble in the hand. The quality of build and high level of performance exhibited throughout the lineup is usually reserved for much pricier blades.
The Tojiro DP 210mm petty sees quite a bit of work as a fish and meat slicing knife where work space is an issue or the surface area of the object being cut does not require a very long edge. This knife is also adept at smaller prep work and boning tasks. While not as versatile as a gyuto, it is a better slicer and can be put to use for many of the same tasks. This knife is a mainstay for chefs who do a lot of meat and seafood prep alongside some smaller veggie work.Weight: 6.7 oz (190g)

I do love the traditional Japanese styles. But the Western-styled Tojiro DP line and similar knives still embody the Japanese approach: thinner, with harder steels that get sharper. I have Mercer and Messermeister chef's knives and they're fine, but thinner and sharper is just better. This is Japanese performance at a price to value sweet spot. Beyond this knife lies the land of diminishing returns. : )

Needed a all stainless steel clad non flexible knife and it is exactly what I needed. Only used for a couple weeks now but has held an edge really well. In my opinion chef knives togo is the only company to use for online knife buying. They have always went above and beyond .... until next time !

Tojiro knifes alway surprise me, great price but you get everything; a knife I would take to any professional level kitchen, top quality steel(though sharp ootb can be taken sharper and refined), solid finish and balanced and comfortable. Great knife to slice fish in tight spots or roasts etc; and great to prep all sorts of vegetables and root vegetables.. CKTG great service and fast shipping! As always.

Got this for a gift for someone who loves buying whole loins of beef and slices into steaks. My brother was thrilled at how sharp it was and how smooth the cuts were. This was a well made beefy knife with good fit and finish, AND it came in a cool gold presentation box making a great gift.

Good f&f, decent sharpness ootb, good clearance on the board. I would prefer a slightly smaller handle. I enjoy the length more than a shorter petty, this is my favorite all around knife. Price is amazing. Awesome customer service. Thanks again!

Home cook. First Jknife. I have some nice German knives that were more expensive but never as sharp as this one. If this is a budget Jknife, CKTG will be getting more money from me soon. FF is ok, has one very small bolster/scale offset. Sharpness balances out FF. Absolutely recommend this for step up from production German.
