There is a point in most cooks knife education where they discover the Tojiro DP - now called the CLASSIC line - and realize that Japanese knife performance does not require a premium budget. VG10 stainless at HRC 60, 13-chrome stainless cladding, full tang black micarta handle. Thin behind the edge, sharp out of the box, and responsive on quality water stones. TOJIRO has been making these in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture since 1955 and the formula has not needed to change.
Four TOJIRO CLASSIC steak knives in a beautiful hard presentation case. The same VG10 stainless steel and full tang black micarta construction as the rest of the CLASSIC line, scaled to the steak knife format - sharp enough to slice cleanly through any protein at the table without tearing or dragging. The hard case makes this one of the most impressive knife gifts available at the price. Reviewers consistently note that photos and product descriptions do not capture how well-made these feel in person.
What Customers Are Saying: Ten five-star reviews. Ayanokoji calls the packaging and quality extraordinary - the hard case box alone makes it one of the most impressive gift presentations he has encountered, and the knives themselves are crafted to perfection at the best price he found online. Julia has been a Tojiro fan for years - describes the knives melting through meat and calls the presentation box beautiful. She gave a set as an anniversary gift. Steffen owns almost the full CLASSIC line and says he has never been disappointed - worth every dollar. Chris pushed straight down on a thick pork loin and the knife cut right through without resistance. The set of four in a hard case is the consensus best gift in the TOJIRO lineup.
Care Instructions: VG10 is a fully stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher for best longevity. Do not use on bones, frozen foods, or hard crusts. Sharpen on quality water stones and hone regularly with a ceramic rod to maintain peak performance.

pictures and videos don't do justice to the packaging (the come in a beautiful hard case box) and quality of these knives, these are crafted to perfection. i also think buying the set of 4 from cktg was the best deal i found on the internet avg price is $200+. if you want to treat yourself to a nice pair, you'll absolutely love it!!!

I've been a Tojiro fan for years, having purchased a Damascus DP Santoku and a White #2 Petty several years ago. When we needed new steak knives, CKTG was the obvious store, and the Tojiro knives jumped out as a true value. The knives are beautifully crafted, well balanced, and nicely presented in a custom box. They melt through meat. My husband was thrilled, as these were an anniversary present.

Just received these from Chef Knives to go. Excellent knives and razor sharp. I own almost the full set of DP knives from Tojiro and has never been disappointed with performance or quality of these knives. They are worth every dollar.

Have only used these once so far, but they were great! Had a friend over for thick cut pork loin. He was not used to using steak knives so didn't slice as much as just push down with the knife on the meat, and the knife cut right through. Exactly what you want in a steak knife!

Wonderful set of steak knives. Straight edge, not serrated, sharpest steak knives I've ever had the pleasure to use. Only regret that a 6 piece set was not available. Recommend most highly.

Absolutely the best and fastest service I have ever had with any company ordering on line. Also Mark's williness to talk with the customer about knive choice is very helpful and welcomed. No one ends up purchasing the wrong knife or talked into something high end just to make a sale. Very professional and the way business should be conducted.
