If I'm getting a Tojiro DP gyuto, will a steel hone still work or should I get a ceramic for when I inevitably go full sperg?

It's a 50/50 bevel with a symmetrical handle, it works just as well for lefties as it does for righties. Unless you actually want a D handled asymmetric bevel knife, that is.

I just noticed this, but what I've found says it's a 60/40 unless it's the professional or supreme lines.

Have you read the very in depth zKnives reviews of the Tojiro DP's? They reviewed well, but were not considered amazing by any stretch of the imagination. If you're going to wait until Payday to get something, there are a TON of better choices no?

I think he may have been referring to the Gekko and not the Tojiro DP.

Looking to buy a knife as a gift. I'm using the Tojiro DP right now and have been happy with it, but I want to get something with better fit and finish. What are considered to be better options for stainless steel gyutos?

How much are you looking to spend? Any preferences as far as looks, handle type, etc?

Anyway, off the top of my head here are a couple decent options:

http://www.chefknivestogo.com/takamura.html

The second one is a better knife but smaller and the blade is not as fancy looking.

Probably western handle and ~$200-300 limit.
