The largest of the gyutos we sell in this range, the gyuto can be translated as 'cow sword' with more a meat bias. This size knife is perfect for the larger jobs such as cutting up meat joints, filleting large fish and dealing with larger veg. Pair with a smaller petty and you'll have the perfect combination to cope with almost anything in the kitchen!
Please note this knife is sharpened to a 70/30 edge.
