Sharper, Smoother, Smarter.

The Japanese Answer to a Chef’s Knife

The Gyuto knife takes everything great about a classic Western chef’s knife and refines it. At just 2mm thick, it’s sharper, lighter, and more precise, making every slice feel effortless.

The curved edge and raised tip allow for smooth rocking cuts, while the long 8.27-inch blade glides through meats, vegetables, and herbs with ease.

Designed for precision and efficiency, the Gyuto is the go-to knife for cooks who want cleaner cuts with less effort.

Materials

Italian Olive Wood
Italian Olive Wood is an ideal choice for knife handles, providing exceptional durability and moisture resistance due to its dense structure and natural oils. The intricate grain and rich golden hues give each handle a unique look, and its solid feel ensures a well-balanced grip. Over time, the wood develops even more character, making it both a practical and luxurious addition.

AUS-10V Steel
Crafted from AUS-10V steel by Aichi Steel in Tokai, Japan, this blade features 1.05% carbon content for exceptional strength and durability. Its superior edge retention ensures a razor-sharp blade that lasts, making it ideal for precision work.

Design

Designed for Seamless Slicing
The Gyuto’s curved edge allows for smooth rocking cuts, making it easy to mince, dice, and chop with precision.

Longer Blade, Fewer Strokes
With an 8.27-inch blade, the Gyuto glides through large cuts effortlessly, reducing the number of strokes needed for clean, even slices.

Angled Tip for Precision
The 61° raised tip is ideal for controlled, detail work, letting you pierce proteins, make intricate cuts, and slice with accuracy.

15° Dual Bevel
Hand sharpened to a precise 15° on each side, resulting in a razor-sharp edge that offers versatility for both right- and left-handed users.

Full Tang
A full tang runs the entire length of the knife, providing intentional weight and balance. This design allows the knife to tackle large tasks like cutting watermelon and meat while retaining the agility needed for fine dicing and precise knife work.

Ergonomic Hexagonal Handle
Our modern take on the traditional octagonal handle, ours is hexagonal to be more ergonomic with edges for slip free handling.
