Gyuto means ''cow sword" in Japanese. Gyu - beef (as in Waqyu), and To - edge or sword.
The Gyuto is the number one knife, the knife that can do it all. Whether you intend on building a set or owning only one knife, you should start with a Gyuto. With this knife you would be able to chop a onion, carve a brisket and even thinly slice some tomatoes.
The Gyuto's length is ideal for think cabbages and watermelons.
