Gyutou Chef’s Knife
What are Japanese Gyuto Knives?
The Gyuto knife is Japan’s answer to the Western chef’s knife—a multipurpose knife prized for its balance, versatility, and razor-sharp edge. Designed for slicing, dicing, chopping, and carving, it's equally effective with meat, fish, and vegetables. With blade lengths ranging from 180mm to 270mm, Gyuto knives are favored by professional chefs and home cooks who want one knife that can handle nearly every task.
Handcrafted in Japan by master blacksmiths, Gyuto knives are made with premium materials like high-carbon steel, stainless steel, and Damascus. Compared to Western chef’s knives, they’re lighter, thinner, and retain their edge longer. Choose from classic wa-gyuto styles with octagonal wood handles or more familiar western-style grips. Whether you're cutting sashimi or prepping vegetables, a Gyuto delivers precision, control, and exceptional durability.
