Overview
Encasing a carbon steel plate front, top and back in stain-resistant steel is how this Tojiro DP gyutou is made, a method called honwarikomi. The wood handle completes a long chef's-style blade with a plain edge.
The layered build lets the cutting edge be as sharp and durable as carbon steel while the outer steel makes the knife easy to maintain. It is a larger knife, with a blade over ten inches. The listing has no warranty or detailed care text.
Who it's for
Home and professional cooks who want a long Japanese-style chef's knife for meat and vegetables and are comfortable with a wood handle. Anyone who prefers a compact blade, or wants a listed warranty, should look at another model.
Pros and cons
- Carbon steel core for the edge
- Stain-resistant outer layer eases upkeep
- Long blade needs board room
- Warranty and care text not listed
- Handle is wood, not metal
Performance notes
The carbon steel plate runs through the center of the blade and reaches the cutting edge, so the edge takes and holds a keen sharpness. Stain-resistant steel covers the front, top and back of the plate, which reduces the maintenance that bare carbon steel needs. The forged blade carries the weight.
