A gyuto knife is the Japanese equivalent of a Western chef's knife, designed as an all-purpose tool for slicing, dicing, and chopping meat, fish, and vegetables. Compared to Western knives, gyutos typically feature thinner, lighter blades made from harder steel, allowing for a sharper edge angle (often 12–15 degrees) and superior precision.
