Tojiro DP 9.4-Inch VG-10 Steel Chef Knife

We can’t talk highly enough about this knife. We’ve seen it through countless battles, both in home kitchens and professional ones. Tojiro’s higher-end knives are great, but this one strikes the perfect balance of price, performance, and quality steel.

The DP line uses VG-10 steel—one of the best all-purpose alloys. It’s got high carbon content, so it stays sharp as hell yet resisting rust. This 9.4-inch blade is ideal for taking on big projects from start to finish. You can break down proteins, chop veggies, and handle delicate tasks with ease.

Now, fair warning: this is a hefty knife. If you’re in a smaller space or don’t have a ton of counter room, you might want to look at some of the smaller knives we offer. But if you had to pick just one knife to rule them all? The Tojiro DP 9.4 is your teammate.
