The Santoku hollow-ground knife 17 cm DP Pro is a hybrid style of knife combining some characteristics of a gyuto and a nakiri. 

Excellent at vegetable work, santokus are also a multi-purpose blade that many chefs use in the place of a gyuto.
Indeed, this pattern is accessible and easy to use for the vast majority of daily cutting requirements.

Hollow-ground indentations on the blade help reduce friction so the blade glides through the food more easily. 

The Tojiro DP knife series are one of the most value for money knives out there if you are looking for a reasonable priced western Japanese made knife.
With a VG10 steel cutting core and 420J stainless steel, a stain resistant cobalt alloy steel clad, Tojiro DP Pro knives are super sharp at 60+/-1 HRC Rockwell and hold their edge for a long period of time.

Eco wood treatment is a non toxic wood stain which offers wood a high end aged look. The eco wood (composite wood), western grip handle has been tried and tested and will last for the life of the knife. 

Three rivets offer additional security to the knife. 

Tojiro DP Pro knives are full tang and have a bolster (Tsuba) which adds extra equivalence and weight.
