What is a Gyuto?
Japan's take on the classic European chef knife — versatile, balanced, and built for everything. The name means "cow sword," nodding to its slight meat-cutting bias, but this is a true all-rounder. The longer blade creates a natural forward balance, letting the knife work for you whether you slice or rock.
Gyutos range from 150mm to 360mm, with 210mm being the sweet spot for most cooks.
Expert Advice
Not sure which size to pick? Start with 210mm — it's the most versatile length for both home cooks and professionals. If you have larger hands or work with big cuts of meat, step up to 240mm. Go shorter only if you're coming from a smaller knife and want a familiar feel.
