Epitomizing value for performance, Tojiro DP knives offer an excellent treatment of VG-10 stainless steel which takes a silky edge without compromising retention or durability. The VG-10 core is clad in softer stainless steel which delivers an effortless sharpening experience and adds structural ductility and support to the blade.
This range of knives marries Western ergonomic sensibilities and patterns with fine Japanese steel, refinement, and forging processes. The resulting product is one that is immediately accessible to Western consumers, yet provides a level of performance that meets highly discriminating standards. Truly, Tojiro DP knives are an excellent entry to the world of Japanese cutlery.
This 90mm paring knife features a nicely proportioned Western stamina wood handle designed to cope with the demands of a professional kitchen with top-notch fit and finish. No gaps or major differences in surface level will be found at the contact points. The knife excels at small slicing and chopping tasks, but really shines when applied in dexterous detail work and peeling.Weight: 2.0 oz/ 58g
Blade Length: 89mm
Overall Length: 202m

Tojiro pairing Perfect paring knife!Posted By: Peter K Wakamatsu

Absolutely perfect paring knife! I have several Tojiro knives and they are all very fine blades. Infinitely better than those other two major German brands. This knife is very sharp and has a fine edge--perfect for doing shallots and other small tasks. Balance is perfect and I can't find a single fault. Makes my other paring knives look absolutely pathetic. I should have gotten this long ago. You can't go wrong with Tojiro knives!!!!

The Tojiro DP series knives are a great introduction to pro level kitchen knives. I bought them for my son in law knowing they might end up in a dishwasher. I'm a fan of VG10 steel as it holds an edge and is not too hard to resharpen. As always it was a pleasure dealing with Mark and CKTG.

Very sharp out of the box, good fit & finish, and feels great in the hand. It's a gift so haven't put it through its paces myself, but I expect it will be an excellent performer.Mark's customer service on the purchase was top notch.

I'm new to purchasing knives for a professional kitchen environment but was told by other chefs that Tojiro is a trustworthy and awesome brand to go with. I love having this paring knife. I have purchased two other Tojiro knives since and have been incredibly happy with all three and feel confident going into work everyday knowing I have some great knives to work with.

You get what you pay for with this knife. It's wonderfully sharp and technically good, though not a lot of attention was paid to details. The handle was not finished symmetrically, the blade is not perfectly aligned with the handle, some grinding marks are visible on various parts of the knife, the sharpening of the blade could have been better too. The handle material also smells a bit funny, and comes with a manufacturer's notice that it is normal for white powder to come out of the handle material. The instruction manual's English is also horribly broken. That being said, none of the above minor issues are noticeable when actually using the knife, which is what really matters. Overall, as long as you are not looking for a perfect finish, this a great knife for the price.

I bought this knife as a gift as part of several knives that my husband has wanted to buy for a few years. He is extremely pleased with the paring knife as well as the others and has given away his old knives.

I must admit I never thought I'd spend this much on a single knife, but after reading the reviews I decided to take a shot. I'm really glad I did. This is without question the finest paring knife I've ever owned and now that I've been using it, I feel like the price I paid was a real bargain. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

It's a pleasure to be able to have a knife work at peak sharpness right out of the box. This little guy IS very sharp out of the box. Very clean looking with an exception finish on the blade. Excellent value for the money.

I purchased this knife to go along with my other Tojiro knifes which are wonderful, the fit and finish of this paring knife is great, the only trouble with it though is the blade thickness which is almost wedged shaped which makes it extremely difficult to cut harder vegetables like potatoes carrots and hard root type vegetables, I finally order the MAC paring knife which has a thinner blade.
