Review: 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! Review: 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. ## Features - Professional Chef Knife - Made in Japan - Hand Made Samurai Style - Life Warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000UAPQGS | | Best Sellers Rank | #165,480 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #580 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 8.2 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 8.2 Inches | | Brand | Tojiro | | Brand Name | Tojiro | | Color | Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,545 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04960375038083 | | Handle Material | Stainless,Stainless Steel,Steel,Steel Handle | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 14 Inches | | Item Weight | 0.21 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Tojiro | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_F-808 | | Material Type | carbon steel; chromium stain-resistant steel | | Model Number | FBA_F-808 | | Size | 8.2" | | UPC | 885428905713 885105926772 885661966878 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Tojiro - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Stainless,Stainless Steel,Steel,Steel Handle ## Images ![TOJIRO JAPAN Professional Chef Knife - 8.2" (21cm) - Hand Made, Flagship Model, VG10 - Easy Maintenance - Life Warranty - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aix+crNKL.jpg) ![TOJIRO JAPAN Professional Chef Knife - 8.2" (21cm) - Hand Made, Flagship Model, VG10 - Easy Maintenance - Life Warranty - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UvvWH6P3L.jpg) ![TOJIRO JAPAN Professional Chef Knife - 8.2" (21cm) - Hand Made, Flagship Model, VG10 - Easy Maintenance - Life Warranty - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/315+oTT+F2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Dishwasher safe?** A: You should never put quality knives in the dishwasher. The documentation that comes with the knife tells you not to do this but that's not specific to this knife. Any knife with quality steel and a sharp edge will be degraded, over time, by the heat cycles and the detergent. Knives are like the easiest things in the world to clean anyway. Wipe with sponge, wipe with towel, and you're done. Knives don't ever collect anything that is hard to get off (or if so then you're using it for something you shouldn't be). **Q: The white square on the handle, is that a sticker? Can it be removed?** A: Sticker that can be removed. **Q: Is this knife made in Japan?** A: If it was really made in Japan, then Japan may as well do a hara-kiki with this knife. Iam in the market forthe kitchen knife and in the last couple of months I tried a couple of dosen of them, openly made in China, Made in Japan and pretending to be made in Japan. Knifes, made in Japan is not advertised this way, they aren't packed in the fancy papers and false "sandal" wood boxes and they always have every bit of the surface polished, wood or metal. This is 100% false product with the false ad technic. Just check the ads by real Japanese companies like Shun, for example. The philosophy is different, ther approach is different and the knifes are different. The only thing this knife has, which makes it look like "made in Japan" is the price. By the way, there no words "made in Japan" anywhere on the package or the knife. Just send it back. **Q: Double or Single bevel?** A: It is a double bevel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love this knife *by S***U on October 4, 2015* 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - TOJIRO JAPAN Professional Chef Knife - 8.2" (21cm) - Hand Made, Flagship Model, VG10 - Easy Maintenance - Life Warranty - Tojiro Knife Professional Santoku 6.7" (17cm) - JAPAN - Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 1000/6000 Waterstone- Whetstone Knife Sharpener- NonSlip Bamboo Base & Angle Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1574495-tojiro-japan-professional-chef-knife-8-2-21cm-hand-made](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1574495-tojiro-japan-professional-chef-knife-8-2-21cm-hand-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
