"Gyuto" translates to "cow sword" in Japanese. This style of Japanese chef knife originated in the late 19th century when Western-style chef's knives were introduced to Japan, initially for processing beef.

As a versatile Japanese kitchen knife, the Gyuto is designed to handle most common cutting techniques, including slicing, dicing, and mincing various types of food ingredients effectively.
