Probably my current favorite kitchen knife.
This is a super thin and lightweight petty that is versatile with a flat edge and a thinning distal k-tip that is very precise.
So light it feels like part of your hand.
I like to use it for veg prep and fine tasks/chopping. I love to use with a pointer/forefinger geip for very precise cutting, and it clears the fingers on the board with this size and blade height.
Super versatile for a prep knife and stays sharp. Complements a larger and thicker chef knife very well.
- SBShane B.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 week agoHigh performance but needs a few slight fit and finish improvements
I really like this knife, it’s about as thin as possible and effortless moves during detail work. Very sharp out of the box as well.
This was almost a five star review but the choil and spine could use rounding to make a pinch grip more comfortable with a thin blade.
- CBColin B.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars8 months agoSuper thin and light
I love the shape of this knife, the k tip is great. It is extremely thin light, like holding a razor blade. I enjoy that, but it won’t be for everyone.
The one issue I have with it is the handle has some quality issues that became apparent after washing it. I’m not quite sure what is happening, but it looks like the wood is developing some cracks, and also some sort of varnish is starting to lightly bubble. I will oil it and I expect it will be fine, but I wish either this wouldn’t happen or that I had been given care instructions to oil from the beginning.
CACutlery and More8 months agoWe're glad to hear you love the shape and k-tip of the Tojiro Reppu.
Sorry to hear about the handle quality issues you experienced after washing. Oiling it regularly should help with both the cracking and any finish bubbling you're seeing. I will reach out to you to discuss a replacement. Thanks for the honest feedback - it helps us improve!
