Review: Execllent steel, great blade design; overall, amazing value - I've read some other reviews of this knife which claimed to have issues with fit & finish, but the one I purchased has no issues whatsoever. I've used chef's knives in a similar price range (Wusthof, Henckels, Global, etc.), and I have to say that I am very impressed with this knife. I haven't had this knife long enough to speak to it specifically, but all of my other VG-10 knives have performed excellently over time, and I expect nothing less from this; it has so far performed way better than the stainless found in its (similarly-priced) competitors. The factory edge was razor-sharp, and the handle is simple, but comfortable. The bolster fits well in my hand; it's smaller than that of the Wusthof or the Henckels, which go all the way to the heel, but larger than that of the Global G-2/G-16, which is nice for people with larger hands. I personally prefer the blade shape of a kiritsuke, but the gyutou is a nice compromise for people more used to a Western-style chef's knife. Also, I have very nearly cut myself on the heel of a Global G-2 more than once, since its heel actually forms an acute angle. The Tojiro has a nice, safe (but still sharp) ninety degree heel. It rocks better than a Global and (unsurprisingly) not as well as a Wusthof/Henckels, but it slices much more smoothly than the German knives. It's much easier to make thin slices with this knife than the Wusthof/Henckels because of its narrower bevel. I'd say it most closely compares to the Global, but the handle is more comfortable for people with larger hands, and the heel is less dangerous. I would also give it a slight edge over a Global based on the blade shape. While there is a clear difference between this and knives that are $300+, especially expensive high-carbon steel knives, it's perfect for someone looking for an upgrade from a Victorinox, or their first real chef's knife. Highly recommend for people looking to get a serious chef's knife on a budget
Review: Serious Knife, Serious Value - Whether you're a pro or a serious home chef, you'll find that this knife punches above its weight. Though more a tool than a jewel, this blade performs at the level of many higher priced alternatives. Don't worry so much about losing this workhorse to theft or abuse and enjoy cooking and possessing a more-than-respectable Japanese pattern knife. The general description is given here in the listing, some geeky tech specs follow: I made very accurate measurements of the blade as follows: Tri-clad blade: The blade is has a core of very hard steel, laminated on both sides by a more flexible and stain resistant steel. The .080" blade has a .024" core of VG-10 surrounded by layers of softer stainless steel which is claimed to be "13 Chrome stainless steel". This outer cladding is probably 410 or 420 stainless. In my example, the core measures HRC 61.5 in 3 tests with a calibrated Rockwell tester. This is quite hard as steels go, and will keep an edge for a long time. The blade is welded at the bolster, which, with the tang, is non-magnetic, and claimed to be 18-8 stainless. The steel finishing is flawless. There are characteristic, though non-objectionable transversal grinding marks along the length of the blade. The blade measures 1.93 " wide at the heel. The primary bevel is 4.5 deg. inclusive, and the secondary apex bevel measures 19 deg. inclusive. 50/50 grind. The blade sharpness out-of-box was quite good - about to 2000 grit. Because of blade hardness, it is capable of achieving and maintaining laser sharpness. Good waterstones are recommended. The knife balances precisely at the heel of the blade. The handle is acetone resistant plastic and shaped well enough to be comfortable for both me and my 8-year-old. This knife (and most within the Tojiro DP line) is unique in utility and value. It will perform at the highest requirements and not break the bank. It's a rare bird in that a mass produced knife line consistently ticks all the boxes of a Japanese benchmade knife. If you are a student, a line cook, a pro or a serious home chef, you will enjoy the uniform high performance of this knife and maintain bragging rights of owning a laser . This review wouldn't be fair and complete without the negatives, few as they are. They are: the blade is not as finely finished as could be. Edges at the spine and the choil are too sharp and will benefit from softening with an India stone and/or emery cloth. This will make rocking more comfortable. This knife comes in a nice box, but has a thin plastic sheath - recommend to replace with better protection.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: For the ones who bought the 8 inch do you wish you bought the 9 or vise versa on all sizes**
A: I have an 8 inch knife and found myself wanting a larger one when slicing my own steaks. They both have their uses imho.

**Q: I read online that there may not be enough knuckle clearance from the handle to the cutting board for people with big hands. Can anyone confirm/deny?**
A: It's true, if you have large hands, your knuckles will hit the board. Also the end of the blade is straight so theres not much support for your fingers, I had to learn to hold it differently. It's still a good knife just not a good design when it comes to handling.

**Q: What does it weigh? And I mean out of the box.**
A: I stuck mine on a scale. It said 8-and-7/8 ounces, and 251 grams.

**Q: Are these knives full tang?**
A: Yes it definitely has a full tang handle.  This is a great knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent large japanese style chef's knife at great price point
*by S***K on November 2, 2016*

This is an exceptional knife at a great price point -- really unbeatable for this category of knife. It has a stainless clad VG10 blade which is an excellent knife steel and really holds an edge. It is meaningfully larger than an 8" chef's knife which is what I wanted as I have a lot of 8" knifes. The handle is well made and attached with triple rivets and should be very durable. The blade is very sharp. The fit and finish overall are excellent. It is heavier than I expected for a Japanese style knife, but that may have been necessary given its size. I would say that this is of quality comparable to knifes twice the price.
