Tojiro DP 240 mm Gyuto $89.95 Free Shipping @ Chefknivestogo

It's a great knife and thanks for posting it, but I don't think the price is particularly slick. CCC shows the Amazon price has been around $95 for a while, ever since a bunch of Tojiro's blades went up over the past couple years.

This is a SUPERB value knife, but this is the REGULAR PRICE
HIGHLY recommended for advanced home gourmets and this is one of the most commonly used knives in the world amongst working professionals I'd HIGHLY recommend it for people but you do need a bit of skill and discipline (a better knife means you need MORE skill and discipline, NOT less)
BUT
where is the slick deal?

AND BTW they sell a 210mm knife too ( 8 1/4 inch)
, and guess what, It's less money because it costs the company less to make and it's in higher demand.

It IS a great knife for a great price, but this is an EVERY DAY PRICE

And since you are using chef knives to go, (which is an excellent retailer, I also highly recommend them) You could have posted the Yahiko which is very very similar to the Tojiro and a little less pricey because it's a house brand

Given that Tojiro is hardly ever offered at any discount due to availability, any discount is "slick," isn't it? And Free Shipping with no "Prime Membership" from a reputable dealer saves those without the $100+ annual some extra cash. Find a better price and I would agree, and this isn't the daily price on CKTG, so this type of deal is what pushes something over the edge into the "well that's the lowest you're ever going to see it" zone. And the Yahiko is a stellar value, but that's like comparing a Fuji apple to a Pink Lady; yes they're both apples but if you think the price is the same on average that would be incorrect. Because they're different enough to be different things. For the "a knife is a knife" type of person, grab a Chicago Cutlery at bargain-bin prices and keep moving. Nothing wrong with it, just meant for different things.

This is "slick" because this is not only 5% off the largest retailer worldwide, but also free shipping with no memberships required. Given that it's a discount compared to the vendors normal retail price, I don't see how this isn't the best price on this blade that I've seen in several years. No, it's not 50% off, and I don't believe this should reach the FP or anything, but if someone out there searches "Chef Knife" and only receives Victorinox (a great knife for a home cook, or for someone that works in a place where knives are abused regularly by fellow employees) or Shun, this is a great entry level gyuto for novice cooks by trade that have been on the fence about purchasing a knife. Something durable and low maintenance.

The reason the 8" knife isn't "slick" is for the same reason; an 8" knife has its place based on size and weight, but when someone prefers the weight and length of a 10" they should look to this deal as a go-to.

Glad you agree that it's a phenomenal value, though. Again, first post ever, just tired of not seeing any of the knife deals that I find that aren't "we only have one of these left" or "this is a single factory 2nd due to cosmetic blemish" type of thing never making it into the general population's knowledge. The world would be a better place if everyone had a better knife at home.
