What is Gyutou?

牛刀 Gyutou literally translates ‘Beef sword’ but it is a Western knife that is widely used all over the world.

Also called a universal knife, originally designed to be convenient for cutting chunks of meat into small pieces.

Compared to Santoku knives, the blade is longer and narrower, and it is also excellent for cutting hard-to-cut items such as streaks.

About this knife

This is a hand-crafted high quality Japanese kitchen knife featuring 8 layers surface stainless steel with a design ‘槌目 Tsuchime’ which means ‘hammered’.

The 210mm blade has the core material of VG10 stainless steel which contains a lot of carbon and cobalt, therefore it is hard, good sharpness, and long-lasting, which does NOT rust like carbon steel.

Another feature is the beautiful octagonal handle.

Perfect for those who want a sharp and cool knife.

The brand is ‘源久秀 Minamoto no Hisahide’ and it is engraved in the knife.

What we like about this knife
