The Tojiro DP line is a great value-priced line for people looking for a good quality steel knife. The Sujihikis and long pettys in this line are pretty thick behind the edge. The spine of the Suji is no thinner than the spine of a Tojiro DP gyuto. These have a convex grind, and the area just behind the edge is pretty fat. You'll feel this geometry if you're using this as a long petty and trying to slice firmer vegetables.I spent two hours thinning down the entire blade from spine to edge. Now it's a real performer! If you're proficient at knife sharpening and you're willing to work on the blade geometry, this knife can be a real bargain.
My only complaint after blade-thinning is the handle-biased weight balance because of the large clunky handle.
