Tojiro Fujitora saku Gyuto 210mm FU-808

Been a chef for 12 years. This is an excellent knife. Well balanced, very sharp out of the box, and holds its edge very well. This has been my go to chef knife since purchasing about 6 months ago. It may not look like anything special but it is a work horse and the handle is great for those long shifts. It handles abuse every day and with very basic Maintinence it’s proving that it will last. For the price it’s worth the quality and considering it’s not overly expensive I don’t feel guilty putting it to serious work in the professional kitchen.

This knife is also known as the "Tojiro DP" Gyuto as Tojiro make this knife and they are well known for solid value. I was shocked at how good this knife is for the price, because I expected a lot less. Amazon have Tojiro knives at affordable prices which is fantastic. Being stainless layered VG10 the cutting edge is very hard and won't rust immediately after cutting onions (like my White#2 Guyoto will) so I don't need to wipe-it-down when I put-it-down for fear of rusting. Washing and wiping/oiling is fine after the meal is prepared. That's the beauty of VG10 steel I guess. Fit and finish is 10/10, this knife is flawless, perfectly balanced and all edges whilst not rounded aren't so square that they are uncomfortable. I can't stress how fabulous this knife is, in every applicable way. If I had to have the one Guyoto, then this Tojiro DP would be my choice. It's like that dependable car that never breaks down, great handling, plenty of power and easy to maintain. Sure, the top end knives costing $500+ are awesome, the fit and finish is 20/10, and every edge is beautifully hand rounded. A White#2 metal edge is so easy to sharpen it should be illegal, but it will cut you if you look at it sideways and it rusts while you watch. Experts only !

J’ai acheté un couteau de la marque Tojiro et j’en suis très satisfait. Il est bien équilibré, maniable et très précis. La lame est vraiment affûtée, presque comme un rasoir — il faut donc faire attention si on n’est pas habitué à ce type de couteaux. Excellente qualité, je recommande sans hésitation.

This is by far the best value knife i have ever purchased and used. The Razor Sharp blade, amazing edge retention and good feeling in the hand make this knife feel really premium and actually compete with much more expensive blades. Just as every reviewer said, Tojiro DP ends up being a quality over looks line of knifes, prioritizing functionality, materials and feels, making it an amazing workhorse for any kitchen

切れ味最高ですね！
