The Gyuto is Japan’s answer to the western chef knife, in a country where the food culture has given birth to a myriad of highly specialised knives with specific jobs, the gyuto is an all round knife to cover all the bases. It was created in the latter part of the 19 century after the son of a prominent Japanese blacksmith visited Europe to investigate knife making technologies. Shofrtly afterwards he returned to Japan with a few samples and a load of ideas, ever since then it has evolved into the hugely popular style we recognise today.
