My main knife.

An important thing to remember is that many brands expect you to sharpen their knives. Others put a high quality edge in the box, and may offer free sharpening services.

The direct comparison with Tojiro DP is Shun, which puts a better edge out of the box and has a free lifetime sharpening service. Tojiro DPs are $50-60 ($60 for pic related), whereas comparable Shuns are $80-150 ($150 for the direct comparison to pic related). Both have VG-10 steel cutting edges.

How is a gyuto for general use?

I've tried santoku knives before but I prefer the angled edge that the chef's knife has. It looks like the gyuto is a good compromise between the two.

Pic related is what I'm looking at in lieu of just getting a Victorinox.

OP here.

How do you think this one holds up to the Victorinox? I probably want a larger knife since I'm a big guy (for you) but I'm not opposed to shelling out an extra $20 especially since I'm a weeb.

It also looks a bit sexier and has that G-10 handle that everyone seems to love.
