Gyuto is a Japanese analogue of a chef's knife. Unlike a European chef's knife, gyuto has a narrower profile and a thin cutting edge. Gyuto began to be used in Japan only at the beginning of the 20th century and its appearance is due to the penetration and spread of Western cuisine in Japan. Initially, Gyuto (roughly translated as "cow sword") was designed for cutting beef.

The blade length of the Japanese kitchen knife Gyuto is 18-25 cm, and the thickness of the butt is 2-3 mm. Unlike traditional Japanese knives (for example, yanagiba), gyuto has a double bevel blade and a more versatile shape, which made it one of the most popular and sought-after knives in Japanese and European cuisine. It is suitable for cutting meat, shredding vegetables and other standard tasks in cooking.

In our store you can buy the best Japanese gyuto kitchen knives from famous manufacturers: Tojiro, Kasumi, Mcusta, Seki Kanetsugu, Ryusen Hamono. And also Japanese chef's knives from masters: Yu Kurosaki, Hiroshi Kato, Takeshi Saji and others.
