TOJIRO CLASSIC Boning/Utility 150mm

TOJIRO has established a benchmark for value-oriented Japanese kitchen knives from their facility in Sanjo City, Japan, and the CLASSIC line — formerly known as the Tojiro DP — is the range that set that standard. The knives are completely unchanged from the DP line. Only the name is new. If you have been researching the Tojiro DP utility knife, this is the same knife.

The CLASSIC Boning and Utility Knife 150mm is one of the more versatile knives in the line. Its compact 152mm blade and slim 30mm height make it approachable and easy to control for cooks of any skill level, while the thin spine and convex grind give it the agility to handle filleting smaller fish, breaking down chicken with proper technique, peeling, and a wide range of smaller prep tasks. It is the kind of knife that earns a permanent spot on the cutting board as a go-to for tasks the gyuto is too large for and the petty is too short for. The VG-10 stainless core delivers excellent sharpness and edge retention, and the black micarta handle is durable and comfortable.

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 large bones or frozen foods. Sharpen on quality water stones to maintain the fine edge and hone regularly between sharpenings.
