The History of the Gyuto Knife
The Gyuto (牛刀) knife emerged during the Meiji period (1868-1912) when Japan opened up to Western culture. At this time, beef consumption also became widespread, creating a demand for a special knife suitable for processing this meat. The Gyuto was modeled after Western-style chef's knives but incorporated the characteristic features of Japanese knives, such as a thinner blade and a sharper tip.
The word Gyuto means "beef knife," and it was indeed originally intended for this purpose. However, it soon became clear that the Gyuto is an incredibly versatile tool that is perfectly suited for other kitchen tasks as well. Today, the Gyuto is one of the most popular Japanese kitchen knives worldwide. The Noushu Masamune Saku Shirogami Gyuto chef's knife is a stunning blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern materials.
