Tojiro DP Gyuto 180mm

With very, very few exceptions, no other knives offer the breadth of patterns, quality of construction and high levels of performance that are presented in the Tojiro DP family of knives. High-end VG-10 steel is found in the core of this series which has been treated to provide excellent sharpness, edge retention, and ease of maintenance. These qualities make the Tojiro DP line one of the best options for cooks interested in sampling Japanese performance cutlery for the first time. Western handles on the DP series are rendered in black stamina wood and are seamlessly integrated with the tang and bolster. Indeed, the bolster’s curved transition into the blade make this knife equally comfortable in a pinch or racquet grip. One would be hard pressed to find knives that are constructed with the same attention to performance and quality at similar prices.

The Tojiro DP 180mm gyuto is an excellent knife for those who want the versatility provided by a gyuto pattern but are either lacking copious work space or prefer smaller knives for the heightened dexterity. While a standard length for many Western chef knives, 180mm is considered small for a Japanese gyuto.
