The balance of the blade enables the Gyuto to adapt to a variety of kitchen tasks, from precise vegetable cutting to delicate cuts of meat. It is also excellent for finely chopping herbs and spices.

The Gyuto embodies the essence of the fusion between the traditions of Japanese cuisine and the needs of Western cooking. It is the knife of choice for many chefs preparing international dishes, as it can easily switch from Asian to Western cutting techniques, all with exceptional precision.
