Takeshi Saji SG2 Polished Tsuchime 240mm Gyuto with Quince Western Handle

Gyuto: The Essential Japanese Chef's Knife

The Gyuto, translating to "Cow sword" in Japanese, is the equivalent of a Western chef's knife. Like its counterparts, the Gyuto excels in versatility. It is long enough to handle slicing tasks and manage proteins, has sufficient length for rocking cuts, includes a flat spot for chopping, and features a precise tip for intricate work. When paired with a petty knife, these two become an unstoppable duo in the kitchen.
