About Toroku Sakai - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Toroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.
I never get sick of looking at this knife. It’s so pretty. I've always said a good knife should inspire you to cook, and this one definitely inspires me. When it comes time to cut, you’re in good hands thanks to the VG10 steel in the blade. It keeps an obscenely sharp edge but doesn’t require a bunch of care like some other fancy knives do. The wooden octagonal handle is very traditional and very comfortable. I find the grooves lock into my hand, making the knife feel like an extension of my wrist.
About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi-purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. 'Gyuto' translates to 'cow sword.' If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto, which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.

A note about measurements: Knife edge length is shorter than stated, as Sakai knives are measured from the front of the handle to the tip. Additionally, some knives feature a small 'machi' gap between the handle and blade.
