The Tojiro DP Gold Series represents one of the best value-for-performance lineups in Japanese cutlery. This 170mm santoku is a classic—nimble, balanced, and razor sharp out of the box, with a durable VG10 core steel sandwiched in soft stainless for easy maintenance and edge longevity.
Built in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan’s steelmaking mecca, this knife is laser-engraved and stamped with the Tojiro crest, plus their “DP Gold” badge—reserved for knives that pass a higher QC tier before leaving the factory. It features a full-tang construction with a triple-rivet handle for pro-grade durability, and a classic santoku profile for all-purpose prep.
At 142g, it’s light enough for all-day use, but solid enough to tackle anything from squash to fish.
