Tojiro DP Gyuto Knife Review 180mm - FU-807 - VG10 - Fujitora

In this video, I'm reviewing the 180mm Gyuto knife from Tojiro. The Tojiro knives are one of the more affordable Japanese made knife brands. Unfortunately for those in Europe, the prices are still high. Moreover, I hope that Tojiro or a retailer can bring down the price that is more comparable with the USA's pricing.

Tojiro Santoku (170mm):

N O T E S: Personally, I find the Tojiro pricing in the USA affordable.
210mm for around $75 is a good deal, 180mm, for around $65. Unfortunately, pricing in Europe is around 100 Euro for 180mm and 120 Euro for 210mm. I advise you to pay 20 euro more for a different Japanese-made knife when the European area prices are still that high for a Tojiro. The attractiveness of a Tojiro is its price. When the price advantage is so small for Europeans, I recommend a different Japanese branded knife.

Brands like:
Sakai Takayuki VG10
Takamura VG10
Ryusen V Gold VG10
Misono VG10

Above branded knives and their Gyuto versions are around 120/150 Euro.
Compared to the 210mm Tojiro for 120 Euro.

For NA, with a price range of $120:
