The Gyuto, a Japanese chef's knife with a curved blade that smoothly rocks back and forth and has an extended tip for quick chopping, is the most versatile and essential of all knives a cook can have. It can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables.

Preparing delicious meals starts with taking wholesome ingredients and using the best tools, such as a high-quality chef's knife, to make every meal into something special. From dicing, slicing, and chopping fresh produce from a farmer's market to carving a roast chicken straight from the oven, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.

This knife is proudly made in Japan and is complemented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.

Traditional Japanese knife-making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
