Tojiro DP Gyuto 210mm

For decades, Tojiro knives have served as a gateway into the world of high end Japanese cutlery for professional and home cooks alike. In the DP series, Tojiro’s excellent treatment of VG-10 core steel provides for extreme keenness without sacrificing edge integrity or retention. The core steel is laminated with softer stainless steel which enhances the ease at which the knife can be sharpened and provides an element of support and ductility to the harder core. These qualities, in concert with nice convex grinds which aid in food separation and a high level of fit and finish, make the Tojiro DP series regarded as one of the best values available in the knife world today.

This gyuto in 210mm format is a heavier middleweight knife by Japanese standards though substantially lighter than many Western equivalents. The edge profile performs well through most cutting styles including rocking, push and pull cutting, and slicing. Being a touch longer than 210mm, this knife will be a wonderful transition for those used to working with 8"-9" Western chef knives and will be capable of handling all but the very largest ingredients.

First Japanese Knife, January 11, 2024

Posted By: Prem Narayanan

First, I want to acknowledge Chefknives to Go for an smooth shopping experience. The knife was readied for shipping the same day I ordered and I received it 5 days later.

I was delighted when it arrived. The finish was excellent and it cuts so smoothly that I've used it every time since for meal preparation. I wish I had bought one of these years ago, I have used Wusthofs till now and did not realize what I was missing until I got this. The Wusthoffs did the job but are not great for delicate work and feels different. I will use the German ones for cutting into bones and the Japanese for everything else. I suspect, this will not be my last purchase of a Japanese knife because there's something addictive about them and knowing the amount of work individuals put in to create each one.

workhorse

Posted By: skip

Is it the sexiest knife? No, but this guy is a workhorse. Ive used it professionally and now it lives in my kitchen and gets absolutely abused. I can't think of a better knife for either a culinary student, new home chef, or even as a gift to our family that still use dull knives. I bought it as a gateway blade and 10 years later here we are. It will get damaged but with stones Im convinced it will last forever.

Feels great in the hand, with balance right around where you would pinch grip. Nice and thin behind the edge and easily cut printer paper put of the box. Slightly convex grind with moderate food stiction. Edge had some micro fracturing from a hard crust of bread, but easily touched it back up with the 1000/6000 stones and will avoid hard bread in the future with this one. Sharpens quite easily on my stones. Spine and choil have kind of sharp corners so I I might round them out myself. Overall pleased with my purchase and I enjoy using the knife!

Why Japanese? Here's your answer

The style is Western but these DPs are Japanese under the hoodharder steels, sharper edges, and thinner geometry. Tojiro tends to add high-end fit and finish at a budget price. It's not that Western knives are bad, I have a gamut of them from cheapie to high-end and they're all good knives. But I think this relatively inexpensive knife could go into the ring with any of the high-end German knives and win on points. I don't want to frame it as a competition or a hipper-than-thou thing. But Tojiro makes a hell of a good knife that's better and cheaper than anything you could buy at your local Williams-Sonoma.

I bought this early on in my voyage of knife discovery, and was waiting to develop my sharpening skills further before bringing it into the rotation. But reading a book on knives last night it was mentioned, so I got it out and impulsively put it to work on a piece of magazine paper. It glided effortlessly through that paper, and I realized that for not much money I had a real performer on my hands. Yeah, it's a Western-style Japanese knife, but there's nothing wrong with that, is there? I'm looking forward to soon being able to maintain it the way it deserves and put it to use as it also deserves. You can pay more but I think this is a damn good knife.

I ordered this knife in early June, 2020. Bizzaro year, if you're reading this sometime after 2020 and the internet still exists.

Initially, my knife was shipped through the United States Postal Service, which has been having a not-so-good year thus far. Again, future reader, I hope you still are able to utilize the USPS and all of their wonderful services. Anyway, so my knife gets shipped and then immediately lost or something. Presumably shoved into a cob-webbed corner at the Postal Facility, not to be heard from for another month and a half.

Sue, at CKTG, immediately is on the case, gets another knife shipped out to me using a different service, apologizes for the delay (not their fault) and I'm happily slicing and dicing in days.

Then, something happens at the postal facility and they finally get my original knife on a truck bound for what was supposed to be it's new home. Sue gets wind of it and tells me that she'll send a return label to send it back. I throw a hail mary and tell her to "lose the label" so I can keep the second knife. I am assuming she chuckled and rolled her eyes at my response sitting in front of her computer made of knives. I am probably not the first to suggest this dubious course of action. She says she'll let me keep the second one at a discounted rate as an apology for the mix-up! As if it was their fault. Wouldn't even take the extra money I tried to give her as a tip for letting me keep the second knife!

All in all 12/10. Keep up the good work, Sue, and everyone at CKTG.

Oh yeah the knife is bad-ass. Keeping it's edge well, no defects or quality problems to speak of upon arrival. Couldn't be happier!

I am a home cook but I have been cooking for 20 years and am always looking to improve my techniques and my tools. This knife was a replacement for a Henckels I got as a gift years ago and I can't believe the difference in experience between the two. I love it and it just feels much more dexterous and capable. I was also very happy with the wealth of info here at ChefKnivesToGo and the shipping was quick as well.

This is the first time I thought it was worth leaving a review for a product. The knife was exactly what it was advertised to be; a sharp knife that holds it's edge for a great price. I strongly recommend this knife for any home cooks who want something relatively light yet still cuts vegetables like butter.CKTG had it delivered to me the same week and also had a little thank you note in the package, which I appreciated. I will definitely buy from them again.

Out of the box this knife is good, even great for a home cook, but where this knife shines is on the line in a commercial kitchen. A trip to the sharpening stones for a little thinning and a great edge, and you have a knife that dances circles around Wusthofs that cost three times as much. As an added benefit it is inexpensive enough that you don't have to worry about a ham handed coworker beating the snot out of it, but high enough quality and well enough heat treated to easily stand up to hard use without rolling the edge. The only thing that everyone will want to do is sand down the choil and the spine a little so they are less sharp when holding it in a pinch grip. Balance is right at the bolster so the knife feels incredibly nimble for it's weight, If you are on the edge about getting into Japanese cutlery, this is a logical step. You get the gyuto blade shape, with a more chop/push cutting profile, you get a thin blade that goes through produce like its not even there, a nice convex grind, and it costs less than half as much as a Shun made from the same steel.

High quality workhorse and true friend in the home kitchen

I have owned this knife for more than 8 years and I can say without a doubt that it is my favourite, it has never let me down despite the abuse I have given it. Although I own knives 3 or 4 times the price of this one, it still is the most pleasant to use.It is quite easy to sharpen on water stones and strops, and will keep its edge unusually long (due to the VG-10 steel which is usually only found in knives 3 times the price) i.e. I need to sharpen it every 3 months but that is with 10 hours of use, 5-6 days a week in a commercial setting (and I re-sharpen when I can no longer get a shaving edge after stropping only).Once you get used to the size you can do everything with it, it truly is a universal knife. From fine paring work (no need for a paring knife if your hands are big enough) to heavy veg prep work to butchering and filleting, it never has an issue.The fit and finish is great for the price point; it is shaving sharp out of the box and the box itself lasted a quite few years of daily use before it disintegrated (which is quite a lot for a cardboard display box). The service from CKTG is the best I have ever dealt with, from any online store bar none.Although I have retired from commercial cooking, this knife is a dream in the home kitchen and very few people would find its size a limitation. There is a reason why it is loved by so many, so if you are hesitant I hope my opinions sway you in the right direction. You wont be disappointed.(Especially if you are an apprentice purchasing their first knife, I highly recommend avoiding the victorinox chefs knife as they are a true pain to sharpen, dont hold their edge and just dont feel as nice in the hand, whilst being only slightly cheaper. Once you see the light, you will never go back).

One of the best dollar for dollar knives out there. Out of the box sharp, hold and edge well, sharpens well, light enough for smaller hands and chefs. I get this knife for people learning proper knife skills for the first time, but who really enjoy cooking and do it often. Sometimes I get the paring knife/chef knife combo as well.

For the price, it's great! You could ease the edges a little with sandpaper, but that's easy enough. It's not the thinnest behind the edge, but that adds to durability. Stainless makes it easy to care for. The handle is comfortable. Just a great general knife to keep around or one to get your feet wet. I keep mine around for when guests stop by and want to use a knife, but I don't want to hand them my handmade blades, ha.

I sharpen knives a lot and I have an obsession with sharpening which has led to a burning desire to have a good knife. I decided upon the Tojiro DP after discussing the product with Mark. I have never ordered a knife online so I was a bit apprehensive. I have seen many very sharp knives, I'm familiar with a nice edge so I expected to have to sharpen the knife when I got it. I was completely blown away by the edge as I received it. It is absolutely terrific, the knife looks great as well, the box it came in is even top notch. After having the opportunity to use the knife I'm extremely pleased and I've already ordered more as gifts. The price is right, it will be easy to sharpen and as always, when dealing with Mark and Sue I got Executive Service, I'm a happy man.

Best starter knife! This knife just makes life easier at work and at home!I work in a high volume production kitchen and had always dreaded having to cut chicken with our stock knives. I had been wanting a good knife for home use anyway and my Exec Chef told me only Japanese and I am glad he did! With a little research I feel I got the best bang for the buck! I use this at work and at home on my third week and darn that blade is still sharp....Oh yeah cutting chicken at work is kind of fun now I can cut it thinner, faster and the cuts are so much cleaner...OOPS forgot to mention the knife is so light (yet balanced) I feel a lot less fatigued!My Exec Chef is so impressed with it he says he will probably buy one and he owns knives costing 4 or 5 times more than this!

I own a knife sharpening business so I see and handle LOTS of knives. Of course, I USE them as well. The value of the Tojiro DP's just cannot be beat. These are light, sharp, beautiful knives at a price that makes them affordable for anyone who is serious about cooking. I expect that in years to come, this three-ply design will be a standard in kitchens around the world. The VG-10 steel center ply with a Rockwell hardness of 60 ensures that they will stay very sharp for a long, long time. Although a number of Japanese mfrs produce this style of knives, the Tojiro DP line is the value leader.

Impressively sharp, right out of the box. Still getting used to it. Not as much rocker from the tip to the heel, as with my german knife. Sort of a long flat section from the heel to middle of the knife (or it's just a much more gradual curve), so it's almost like a nakiri combined with a chef's knife in some ways. If you tend to point with your index finger on top of the blade, rather then pinch, the square edges on top of the blade are still sharp enough to cause discomfort, but not actually cut you. I have a tendency to hold the knife further down on the handle, so I have to consciously choke up on my grip so I'm putting more downward force with my palm, rather than with my fingers pinching the blade, or else the top of the blade tends to rub my index finger raw. Looking forward to getting more of the Tojiro knives.

Great knife. I bought it as a gift and am wanting one for myself. Arrived in great shape and in a timely matter. Was razor sharp out of the box. No complaints.

This was a gift for my son. He was thrilled and used the knife many times before returning to New Zealand (home). We will make additional purchases as the need arises. Great service and a great product. thank you!
