I bought this knife about 5 years ago; its just my favorite. I've owned (and still do, and in order) Henkel's (the good ones) Sabatier carbons, Wustof's, a very nice Masahiro carbon (insane for delicate work) a set of 3 Kasumi Damascus that I love, but the handles are a bit too small. As a professional chef,(now a Corp Chef) I found the Tojiro DP Gyutou to be the best possible combination available (for under [$]) Great shape, awesome handle that fits extreamly well into a my (full size) hand. It stays very sharp and cleans up well; i never get tired of it. The smaller poultry boning knife has the same large handle and is a fine work, heavy and precise, though sharpened more on one side in the Japanese style. Though after 25 years I have more knives than anyone can use, my next buy will be the matching slicer.

Quality product. Fit and finish are ok but the steel is the key ingredient. Sharpens quickly and keeps the edge. NEVER use a steel on Japanese knives. Learn to sharpen on a waterstone. (the edge you get is better).Honwarikomi is the best way to make a knife, why else do custom makers like Murray Carter, and Watanabe use this method. Other knives might cost more, but for the person who wants great performance at an affordable price, look no further. :)

Comparable to Misono UX10, for less than half the price.

I'm a full time cook and I need a knife that is light, comfortable, fast, and sharp. This knife meets all my standards. I'll use a steel once every two days depending on tasks and use a stone once a month.
