Yoshihiro is a renowned Japanese knife maker from Sakai, a city with a long-standing tradition of Japanese kitchen knife craftsmanship. For over a century, Yoshihiro has combined traditional craftsmanship with modern materials, precise manufacturing and practical design.
The Gyuto (牛刀) is the Japanese take on the classic chef’s knife, designed to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks. Its long blade, pointed tip and curved cutting edge make it well suited to slicing, chopping and rocking cuts. It performs exceptionally well when preparing meat, fish and vegetables, making it a versatile tool for both professional kitchens and demanding home cooks.
With a 240 mm blade, this Gyuto offers extra reach and efficiency when working with larger cuts of meat, bigger vegetables and greater quantities of ingredients. Despite its added length, it remains practical for everyday use. It is an excellent choice for professionals who want a slightly longer blade without choosing a knife that feels too large for daily work.
The knife is made from Japanese VG-5 stainless steel, valued for its balance of hardness, corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. VG-5 takes a keen edge, offers good edge retention and is relatively straightforward to sharpen.
