About this shape
Gyutou are the Japanese equivalent of a typical European chef’s knife. They are the ideal all-purpose kitchen knives and can be used for most tasks. Japanese gyutou are typically lighter and thinner than a European knife, are made out of a harder steel and as a result, hold a better edge. The design features nothing to obstructing the edge of the handle end of the blade, so it can be sharpened and thus used entirely. The word gyutou in Japanese means ‘beef knife’.

One of the most amazing knife ive ever used, I can stress to yoy how sharp this knife is. Amazing design, razor sharp and srill stays sharp. Ive been using this knife every day for every meal and its almost as sharp as it was right out of the box with a lot of daily repetative use. 10/10 highly recommend it to everyone.
Amazing knife. Definitely the best knife I’ve ever owned
Perfect birthday gift.
Love the knife, but the handle has a strange smell to it, otherwise it would be 5 stars.
Shipped quickly. Well packaged. Love the beauty as well as the wonderful handling. A super splurge for me, but worth it.
Beautiful knife, great value
The knife cover seems like it is too small and knife will not go in all the way. My son said he would just leave it in the box.
Knife was shipped from Japan and delivered promptly as promised. Follow up questions about sharpening were answered quickly and clearly, a big plus since this was my first Japanese knife purchase. The knife looks and handles like a gem and arrived seriously sharp. There will surely be more Japanese knife purchase and I look forward to supporting Chubo Knives again. Thanks!
Perfect
Great knife
I left the same message on the Sakai Takayuki 45 Layer Damascus 240mm: I’ve always been sceptical about ordering from overseas as there’s lots of fakes out there however, these are the real deal. I ordered two knives and they were shipped from Japan to the UK in under 10 working days which is super fast. Super light, easy to clean and handles really well.
High quality knife that shipped fast.
a beautiful knife that will last a lifetime
Great product, even greater customer service!! Bought is as a gift for my son (which he loved) and after making my purchase, I noticed I had received a discount code in a previous email but had not applied it to my purchase. I sent them an email and asked if I could have it applied. Even though my purchase had already been processed, they applied the discount and refunded the difference on card. That was awesome of them! Also, the product was just as described and shipped super fast considering it shipped from Japan! Great company, will definitely buy again!
This is a beautiful knife, well balanced and razor sharp, making life a breeze.
The knife is very comfortable to hold and the metal is beautiful. It hasn't scratched or discolored so far and it has almost daily use.
