With the company’s DP line of knives, Tojiro has established an industry benchmark for value oriented performance cutlery. These knives marry wonderful grinds, balance, and expertly treated premium steel with durable Western handles made of black stamina wood to create one of the bestselling introductory lines of Japanese knives on the market. At the core, Tojiro DP knives boast stainless VG-10 which is treated to achieve an incredible balance of sharpness, retention, durability, and refinement. The core is then clad with softer stainless steel to improve the integrity of the blade and ease of sharpening. For the price, there are very few other knives that can compete in overall quality of construction and performance. Truly an excellent value is presented with these blades.
The Tojiro DP 150mm utility knife is a versatile blade that can excel in a myriad of kitchen applications. The dimensions of the knife make it accessible for any user and adept at smaller chopping tasks, peeling, and slicing work. While not designed to plow through bone, this knife can be used for filleting smaller fish and breaking down the chicken with the proper technique.Weight: 2.9 oz (82g)

DullPosted By: Seb

I'm new to Japanese knives and was disappointed at how dull this knife was out of the box. It struggled to push through an apple and to pierce ripe tomato skin, things my cheap TJ Maxx knives did with ease when new.

This is a near perfect petty. Great ootb sharpness but really shines when you put it on the stones. VG10 holds a great edge. I've had it for 5 years and use it almost daily for veg prep, and butchering. It's the only knife in my bag I've never thought about upgrading.

(Home cook) After doing much research, decided to make this my second knife purchase to pair with my 8 inch Chef's Knife. Very happy with my decision as this seems to work well both with veggie prep and also breaking down a chicken, cleaning up a skirt steak, etc.

Bought this knife based after reading many reviews. Takes and edge easily on a Wicked Edge Go. Edge retention and balance of this knife is excellent. A pleasure to use. I will buy Tojiro again in the future.

Very nice knife but not as sharp as I thought it would be out of the box. Able to sharpen up easily, though. Basic knife without some of the flair I would have liked. Thin blade easily bends so be careful not to cut when hard surfaces can be hit. Still getting to know its potential.

An excellent line of knives, suitable for the professional kitchen or eager amateur. Long lasting, sharp out of the box and easy to care for.The 150mm utility is a great small all rounder. I use mine for anything from prepping fruit to butchering and fish prep.

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.

Not much to say except overall awesome value with this knife. And not to take away from how good it is regardless of price. this knife is a great general use petty/utility knife. the star here is the steel, vg-10 takes a crazy sharp edge, holds it well, and is easy to sharpen on top of all that. it is in that sweet spot for hardness, so you can even steel it on a something like an idahone or other ceramic hone and it will get back to hair-popping sharp in a swipe or two, if done correctly.fit and finish is okay - i hear some people have issues with quality control with tojiro knives. mine had a slight overgrind towards the heel. but it is a pretty easy fix and can honestly be overlooked for the price and value. especially considering how good everything else is. i would give it a 4.5 if i could, but ill just go with 5, since i think this is a great buy. oh, i also have the santoku and the petty in the DP line if that says anything about how much i love this line and the value you get with it. they are just great workhorses that you can rough up and use for hard tasks and not really think twice about it - the way a knife should be used.

My favorite knife on the line for almost a year. Quick and easy to sharpen. OOTB sharper than comparable priced and some higher priced knives. Not the most beautiful knife, but definitely a handy workhorse. Keeps its edge through station prep and service.ChefKnives to GO! Good and prompt service.Wish I had a wa handle tho

When i bought the knife i wasn't expecting much for the price point. The edge was sharp OTB but wasn't sharpened properly as their was a bump on the heel which i had to fix. The spine of the blade needed some sanding down too, edges were too sharp for my liking and mine came with some scratches on the spine. I havn't used it much as of yet, but I cant really complain for a knife of this price

Recently bought this utility knife. I use it everyday at work for hours at a time. Factory edge still sharp, honed it once since purchase. Wanting to see how far it'll go. Unsure at first, i picked this one just to have something to play around with. Definitely a must have, of the 3 other knives I bought here, this one is my favorite. She's sleek and light. Reliable to any ninja in the kitchen.

These knives are great. I just purchased this knife and also have a tojiro santoku which I use every day. Highly recommended for professional use. Great price. Maintains a beautiful edge. Sharpens easily on a wet stone and if you're using a steel it comes instantly back to life. Awesome if you work in a kitchen and need knives that can withstand constant use without losing their funtionality. Great knives.

A very sharp OOTB knife. Fit and finish are good. The 3 layers of steel show up well. I use it almost as much as my 8 chef knife.It's hard to beat this one for the price and quality.I like to cook and just recently decided to get some high quality knives.This Tojiro seems to be up there with some selling for much more.
