Often compared to the Japanese Gyuto, in this modern age we see many chef knife hybrids. The blade thickness is a large differentiator between the Japanese Gyuto and Western knife. Traditionally, Western chef knives were built using soft steel and to give the knife the density and strength needed to resist, more material was required. As such, generally speaking western knives are known to be more robust.
The western chef knives remain an ideal candidate as a primary kitchen blade. If you like a western look with a heavier feel this style will suite you.
