What is Gyuto Knife?

The Gyuto knife originally came from the West. So it is a Western kitchen knife widely used around the world. An all-rounder, the Gyuto can cut meat, fish (other than bone), and vegetables. Also known as a French knife, Chef's knife, or all-purpose knife, it is used by many people in place of a Santoku knife. The difference from a Santoku knife is that it comes in size increments of 30mm up to a length of about 300mm.

Three merits to have good, quality kitchen knives

(*) From What is the difference in prices of kitchen knives? - from Sakai Jikko website

1. Better sharpness

Improving the cut quality of the kitchen knife, we can promise that "your cooking will be more delicious", "your cooking time will be reduced", and "cooking will be more fun".

2. It is easy to re-sharpen

Since quality kitchen knives do not have distortion, sharpening will become easier. Just as important as the cut quality of a kitchen knife is that it is easy to sharpen. 

3. It retains its sharpness for longer

If you use quality kitchen knives, you can extend the intervals between when you need to re-sharpen.
