WHAT IS A GYUTO KNIFE?

A gyuto knife is a specific type of Japanese chef's knife that translates to "cow sword" in English. The design blends the Western chef's knife with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The Gyuto knife, like our Damascus series Awabi Gyuto chef's knife, offers a pointed tip and a sharp, slender blade. The balanced weight makes it ideal for both professional chefs and home cooks.

JAPANESE KITCHEN KNIVES

Japanese kitchen knives are as attractive as they are functional. The classic trio consists of the deba, usuba, and yanagiba, though there are about 15 in total. Some Japanese kitchen knives are designed to be multipurpose while others are specifically for vegetables or tasks like paring.
