Proudly made in Sekji City, Japan, this large chef Gyuto features a full-tang construction on a ultra-sharp Aogami #2 cutting core finished on a SUS410 stainless steel clad to simplify the maintenance. 

Gyutos are known as the only knife needed in the kitchen. The blades typically range from 210mm to 270mm in length and are appreciated for their taller heel. Gyuto’s are a great option for most as they have a reasonably flat profile toward the heel for chopping, a belly toward the tip of the blade for rock cutting, and a pointed tip for precision work. which is why many chefs prefer a Gyuto over many other models.

While often similar in shape when compared to Western chef knives, Japanese Gyuto’s have a reputation for being lighter and thinner.
