Gyuto Knives

Gyuto is one of the most versatile knives in Japanese cuisine. Known as a chef's knife, Gyuto usually has a long and wide cutting edge, making it an ideal tool for cutting meat, vegetables, fruit, fish and other ingredients. The slanted cutting edge is perfect for both chopping and slicing. The gyuto knife has a structure similar to Western-style chef's knives, and can make very even and clean cuts. This knife, which is usually wide and heavy, is preferred as a versatile and powerful helper in the kitchen. Gyuto means "beef sword" in Japanese and was historically designed for cutting beef. It was adapted to Japanese cuisine in the 20th century under the influence of Western-style chef's knives.
