TOJIRO knives come from Sanjo City, Japan, and the CLASSIC line — formerly known as the Tojiro DP — has spent decades proving that excellent Japanese cutlery does not have to be expensive. The knives are completely unchanged from the DP line. Only the name is new. If you have been researching the Tojiro DP 270mm sujihiki, this is the same knife.
The CLASSIC Sujihiki 270mm is the range-topping slicer in the line and one of the most versatile knives TOJIRO makes. At 266mm it has the reach to handle large roasts, whole fish, and turkey without breaking a sweat, yet it is nimble enough to pull fillet duty and handle smaller slicing tasks with precision. The long, narrow blade is designed for pulling cuts that glide through proteins and fish with minimal resistance, and the convex grind keeps drag low through even long, uninterrupted slices. The VG-10 core is heat-treated for exceptional sharpness and edge retention, and the softer stainless cladding makes maintenance and sharpening easy.
Care Instructions:
VG-10 stainless is low maintenance but a few good habits will keep this knife at its best. Hand wash and dry promptly after use and avoid the dishwasher. Do not use on bones or frozen foods. Sharpen on quality water stones to maintain the fine edge and hone regularly between sharpenings.

I own two Tojiro R2 knives that were 5-stars out of the box; actually shaving sharp, and hold their edge like no other knives I own. Imagine my disappointment when I received a Classic (DP) sujihiki that is dull even after stropping. I hope I can wake this blade up, but I shouldn’t have to spend my time and money to do it.

Thick handle. bulky and takes a little getting used to. Edge needs serious thinning for it to come to life. Holds an edge with the very best. Stiff, great big knife. Fit and finish leaves some to be desired. All taken care of with a few hours with the dremel tool.

Like all tojiro DPs I think this is a great knife for the price. Edge retention and stability are great, but there are some minor F&F issues. This knife has the extra boxy tojiro handles and may require some sanding to get the rough spots in the handle/tang smoothed out.
