What is Gyu-tou (Butcher Knife,Chef Knife)?
This type is mainly used to cut apart beef blocks. The reason for this is because this knife is most suited for the pressing technique where maximum weight can be applied. The meat can be cut while applying force by pressing the arch on the tip of the blade. For a large block of meat, if you simply move the blade in a vertical path, even when attempted powerfully, the blade will be caught and stop in the middle. Or, when attempting to slice beef using the slicing technique similar to cutting sashimi, sufficient weight cannot be applied and therefore the meat will not be cut in one swift motion. However, with the pressing technique, the blade can be pushed forward as much as necessary by using the weight and cut apart a large block. It is also good for carving the meat apart from the bone because the tip is very sharp. Furthermore, the common name for this type is chef’s knife, indicating the wide variety of possible application other than meat alone.

What a beautiful knife. The hammered pattern on the blade is not only beautiful, it helps release food when chopping. The knife is very well crafted. It’s extremely sharp and well balanced. Craftsmanship, features and eye catching good looks make this knife a great buy for the price point.
A beautifully-balanced knife
Very quick delivery
The handle is not polished enough, feel a little bit scratchy.
Amazing looking knife (true to the picture), you will not be disappointed! Very good quality build and definitely up to the task of being used as your main chef's knife! Shipped and arrived very quickly as well.
Gift wrapped and polished my first impression was awe the weight and balance of the knives is perfect with wood handle for perfect styling . I’m so pleased
Je suis ravi d'avoir acheté ce couteau, il est très bien et rend la découpe des légumes plus simple et précise. Cela dit, le couteau vient avec une étiquette dans la boîte qui mentionne le prix est de 7500 YEN au Japon et ici il vendu deux fois plus cher voire plus quand il n'est pas en spécial, c'est un peu ordinaire.
A much appreciated gift for a skilled home chef, it's beautiful, incredible for slicing all the veggies and so happy to shop local!
I’m always a little sceptical when ordering from a new site online, but they were very friendly and helpful, even shipped out the next day!! It was for a gift, but so happy with it! Thank you kindly :)
