Gyuto (牛刀) – The Japanese Chef’s Knife
Gyuto is the Japanese interpretation of the Western chef’s knife and is considered the most versatile knife in a Japanese kitchen. Originally developed for cutting meat (“gyu” means beef), it has evolved into an all-purpose knife suitable for meat, fish, and vegetables.
Compared to Western chef’s knives, Gyuto knives are typically thinner and lighter, offering exceptional sharpness and precision. The blade profile allows for smooth rocking motions as well as precise push-cutting techniques.
Gyuto knives are commonly available in lengths ranging from 180mm to 240mm, with 210mm being the most popular size for both professional chefs and serious home cooks.
If you are looking for one knife that can handle nearly every kitchen task with balance, sharpness, and control, Gyuto is the ideal choice.
10A is a stainless steel designed to provide a balanced combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge stability. It is commonly used in multi-layer Damascus constructions, offering reliable cutting performance and ease of maintenance.
