This Gyuto knife combines elegant design with functionality, handcrafted in Sakai, Osaka—a city with over 700 years of knife-making tradition. Its longer blade and straighter edge allow for smooth, efficient cuts through large cuts of meat, while its versatility makes it equally suited for slicing vegetables or preparing fish. A true all-purpose knife, it’s a trusted choice for both professional chefs and focused home cooks.
