A Gyuto (chef’s knife) is versatile and offers some of the most diverse cutting applications, from vegetable preparation to meat and fish butchery.

The Gyuto knife is the Japanese answer to the Western chef’s knife.

In terms of shape, the knife bears resemblance to Western counterparts, but Gyuto knives generally have a lighter and thinner blade.
