Gyuto / Chef Knives
The Gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife with a Western style curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping that can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables. "Gyuto” literally means “beef sword” and was initially used for cutting meat in Japan. The Gyuto is one of the most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have.
The Longest Gyuto we have introduced and a 'Beast to Behold' - Heavier than most knives we stock but a compact full tang handle gives excellent balance.
