Detailed Description
The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic western-style chef’s knife. Similar to the western chef’s knife, the Gyuto is a versatile, multi-purpose knife that is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fishes, vegetables, fruits and herbs.

Gyutos are long knives that are commonly tall at the heel with a slight curve from the midsection to the pointed tip of the blade. The relatively flat heel of the blade makes it well-suited for a variety of chopping styles including tap-chopping, push-cutting and pull-cutting, while the slight belly towards the tip of the blade allows for easy rock-cutting. The pointed tip of the blade can also be used for precision cuts.

Gyuto knife’s Duoble bevel blade is typically thinner, lighter and holds a sharper edge than a Western chef’s knife. For most users, the Gyuto is the best all-purpose knife and the most versatile and useful Japanese knife in the kitchen.
