Gyuto (牛刀)

Its name, "Gyuto," translates to "beef knife," indicating its historical use for cutting and preparing meat. However, its capabilities extend far beyond meat-centric tasks.

Versatile in the kitchen, it excels in chopping, dicing, and slicing with precision. Balancing power and finesse, the Gyuto is an indispensable, all-purpose chef's tool, ideal for both professional and home kitchens.

Commonly used for but not limited to: meat, vegetables, fish, large fruit

Vanishing point

The V-shaped grind on the Gyuto's blade is honed in with a thin bevel and seamlessly reaches the edge to a microscopic point.

As the experts do

The knife is optimally weighted to offer a pinch grip - a grip that places the thumb and forefinger close to the knife's blade, providing optimal control and precision.

  • Heat treatment tempering at 350°F to achieve optimal blade strength.
  • Reaching a Rockwell Hardness of 59 for extended sharpness and durability.
  • Prepared for immediate use, our knives are polished, sharpened, and quality assured.

Precision

The curved belly of our gyuto, following the cutting edge, is crafted to make techniques like the 'rock chop' easier, ensuring accuracy in each cut.

Safety

With a 14° edge angle, there will be minimal resistance when cutting. Additionally, there is adequate space for your knuckles, so you can slice with confidence.
