EXCELLENT,PRECISE BLADE!
My husband, who is an avid sushi maker, made me purchase a Japanese knife, this Tojiro was ranked & reviewed the highest. We have both been blown away by its performance. The knife is incredibly sharp and precise, making it easy to slice through even the thinnest pieces of fish or vegetables. The blade is made of high-quality steel, and it feels very durable and well-made in our hands. The ergonomic handle is also a nice touch, as it's comfortable to grip and provides a secure hold on the knife while in use. What really sets this knife apart from others we've used in the past is its ability to maintain its sharpness over time. We've owned other knives that dull quickly, which can be frustrating when trying to create precise cuts. However, this Japanese knife has held its edge remarkably well, even with regular use. While the knife is definitely an investment, we both feel that it's worth the money for its quality and effectiveness. Overall, we highly recommend TOJIRO Japanese knife to anyone looking for a high-quality, precise knife for their cooking needs, particularly if you're interested in making sushi or other delicate dishes. It's definitely worth the investment, and we're confident that it will last us for years to come.

Absolutely love this knife
Update: Oct 2020 - Wow I've had this knife since 2015 and it's been with me through multiple house moves and even a cross country move. By now all the lettering on the knife is long gone. The blade has certainly dulled through use. I've been sharpening this knife at home with a handheld sharpening steel and it's kept up. It has developed a few minor chips. Just dropped it off at a professional knife sharpening service so I will see how it performs when it comes back! Absolutely love this knife. I researched for hours what kind of gyuto I wanted to add to my my home kitchen and finally decided on the Tojiro DP 8 inch (210 mm or 21cm) because of the great reviews and excellent steel of the blade. A gyuto knife is simply the Japanese equivalent of the Western chef knife and is an all-purpose knife used for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. I found the Tojiro to fit very well in my hands. I have small to medium sized hands and these fit very nicely. Not too heavy and the grip is solid. The handle is of a Western style and is not one of those lightweight cheap plastic handles. The blade is constructed of a very, very sharp VG-10 core steel with a spine thickness of 1.9mm. I've worked with Globals and also have a Kyocera ceramic and this knife is the knife I grab when I'm in the kitchen. Coming in at 7.2 oz it's heavier than my Global and Kyocera ceramic, but it's definitely much lighter than the Wusthof Ikon that I've handled and Western knives. The Tojiro handles meat with ease. Cuts through chicken and beef with minimal effort and I can make paper thin cuts of steak. It's also great for cutting green onions, brown onions, broccoli, napa cabbage, etc. It's sharp! I'm not experienced with sharpening knives, and hopefully someday I will learn but another reason I chose the Tojiro was because it's a great beginner's knife to learn how to sharpen on a whetstone. I've looked into so many Japanese gyutos and finally came back to this one because of everyone's recommendations and I can't be more happy about my decision. I've looked into many higher priced Japanese knives such as Shun, but because they are technically made of the same VG-10 steel and the Shun Classic line was also a lot more expensive I felt that the Tojiro fit the budget and has by far exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend and I'd say if you're looking for your first gyuto get the Tojiro DP! You can't go wrong with the price and quality!

A really good knife at a great price!
I am a simple home cook who takes pride the food I prepare. Because of this, my opinion shouldn't be held to the same caliber as some of those who are chefs. This knife is simply amazing. I managed to get it for under $60 (it seems prices change often on Amazon). At that price it is beyond amazing. This thing is so sharp out of the box that you need to be extremely careful. This knife can help you hone your knife skills and also slice your finger nail off with precision. This is a great knife for any home cook who wants a quality, simple, and reasonable priced chef's knife that is sharp and will stay sharp for a while. Can I find fault with it? Sure, but in this price range it would be difficult and I would consider myself to be unreasonable. Now, who isn't this knife for? If you aren't going to treat it with respect, then it isn't for you. If you put it in the dishwasher or let it bang around in the sink with other dirty dishes and utensils, it isn't for you (and you will end up in the emergency room getting stitches after blindly reaching into water with this knife - it is designed to cut and it will cut). If you aren't going to use the knife on a proper cutting surface, this knife isn't for you. While the knife is supposedly made from stainless, it does scratch & stain rather easily. Because of this, if you are looking for a showpiece, look elsewhere. If you don't fit in any of these categories and want a really good knife at a great price, this knife is for you.

Great value for a well made **super sharp** chef's knife
I have a nice set of knives in a block, most are German and perform well. I had been watching this knife and picked it up when it went below $50. A steal in my opinion. It's the first Japanese knife I have owned. I have some expensive, nice and well made German knives. They are sharp, but the Tojiro 8.2" is on a whole other world of sharp. It cuts so well, it's like whatever I am cutting is moving out of the way of the blade, like Moses parting the Red Sea. Kidding aside, all the reviews that say how sharp this knife is - aren't wrong. I think I could perform surgery with it. Only one nitpick and that is the edge of the blade nearest the handle is squared off and if you aren't careful holding the knife, you can nick yourself easily. The only good news on that is the blade is so sharp, you won't feel it at first. I'm not a professional chef by any measure, but I know my way around the kitchen. I don't let certain people use this knife as they don't know how to properly hold a knife. That lack of knowledge and the sharp corner has resulted in 2 people getting little nicks. Don't let that dissuade you, as I find holding the knife correctly doesn't result in small cuts for me. The weight is nice as is the balance. It doesn't look like anything special. It's slightly lighter than similar knife and I find it comfortable to hold. I've used it for 8 months and so far, no need to sharpen it. I'm glad I bought it and it's a welcome addition to the kitchen.

and having good quality, sharp knives is very important
I am a sushi chef,and having good quality, sharp knives is very important. This knife is my go-to for just about everything, even tasks that are outside its' purpose. Obviously more specialized knives such as a yanagiba, etc exist for their reasons, but if you needed "one knife to do it all" this would probably be it. It is well made, has good strong steel, and a great feel in the hands with respect to weight and balance. It was my first serious knife purchase that I have made, but when I compared it with the much higher costing Shun's, I couldn't justify the leap in price at my level of experience. I have dropped it once from 4 feet to a tile floor unfortunately, but am amazed to say that the knife is VERY strong as it didn't show any signs of damage other than a minor blemish that can only be seen as a light reflection on the blade; my fingernail won't even detect it. This knife is not only very sharp, but very strong! I have used it now once a week for quite a few months and have yet to sharpen it, as it came incredibly sharp from the box and if you don't abuse the blade it will stay sharp depending on what you cut with it and what type of cutting board you use. I have about 7 various knives ranging from $10-50, most of them are specialized such as a yanagiba, a deba, paring knife, etc. But they mostly sit in the knife roll after I bought this. Love it.

Tojiro DP Gyutou - Great performing workhorse at unbeatable value
I own the 8.2(4 yrs), 9.4(3 yrs) and now the 10.5 inch. For what you get at the price these knives simply cannot be beat. These knives are fantastic - lightweight for their size, razor sharp out the box, perfectly balanced at the heel, and they hold that sharpness day in and day out for months (of course, while using a proper ceramic or diamond hone to touch up.) I whetstone sharpen these knives about once a year, and all three are actively abused in a commercial kitchen. Near the end of the 12 month period they do lose that keen edge, but I compare this to the other chefs with their typical Wusthofs and Mercers (and copycats/knockoffs galore) whom grind away their knives through sharpeners on a weekly basis. Nevermind the cheapo rented house knives that get dull in a day or two! The VG-10 blade material, at least for conventional kitchen purposes, really is that hard and that tough compared to anything else in this price range. Anything truly better is going to cost at least double if not more, for little real gain to you. With that said I would wait for sales when the 8.2 inch is ~$55, or the 9.4 can be had for ~$70, or the 10.5 for ~$90 simply to maximize your value.

The Gyutou!!
So, I am an aspiring great chef and I will document my first 24 hours with this knife as objectively and accurately as possible: Tore open the box elatedly (package came a day earlier than expected) and beholded the neat golden box that this knife comes in, which my Chinese roommate was able to read the Chinese words inscribed on the removable face. Now, i'm not very experienced with fancy knives so the feel at first hold of this knife was akin to "love at first sight." It feels so compact and sturdy, you can just feel the quality exuding from this ultra cutlery. I giddily spend the night imitating my cutting motion as I can't wait to use it at work the next morning. I open up the kitchen with knife in tow, waiting for any mice en place to come my way as it always does. Today, red peppers, onions, strawberries and oranges (i'm the breakfast service chef) so I unveil Tojiro. This thing out of the box is just about as sharp as a kitchen knife can possibly be in my estimation as it runsss through these mere inanimates with EASE. It should be noted that a lapse in form simply caused by me being used to the terrible excuse of chef's knifes i've been using for the past year led to me slitting half the nail off my left middle finger. I was negligent with this very dangerous piece of equipment, and paid for it. Like a man that beats you in a fist fight, this knife earned my respect as I am now VERY careful when using it. I spent the remainder of the shift absolutely slicing through sandwiches and dinner prep (carrots, celery, watermelon etc.) The lead evening chef used it on celery and commented that he felt like giving away his Wusthof Classic 8". That spoke volumes for me. All in all, this is an excellent knife and I will make amendments to this review when I receive my Kasumi chef's knife a week from now and compare because that is a markedly more expensive knife and it will be interesting to see how it stacks up. Hence 4 stars for now because i'm a bit hesitant to give anything 5 stars and because there must be better knives around given how much more expensive knives can get. But if on a budget and want an absolute beast, THIS IS IT!

The best knife my dad has ever used!
I gave this knife as a gift to my dad for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. At first he was shocked at how easy it cut through various foods and items, And he said that it was overwhelmingly the best knife that he has ever used in his life. It's very sharp, easy to use, has a good weight, and an overall good feel to it. He couldnt think of anything negative to say Considering this is now the only knife (out of all of his knifes) that I now see him using, I can assume that he was being truthful. Personally I think that it's a very good looking knife. Very well made and classy design. Packaging was nice and simple. No big clumsy box. Shipping was relatively quick considering it shipped from California to where I live in Sweden, during a global pendemic. Around 2,5 weeks total from payment to delivery. Edit: I don't know why it says it war reviewed in the US. I am currently located in Sweden and bought it from here. I only used the the US version of Amazon.
