Japanese utility meets western style. 

Triple-layered, Japanese forged chef’s knives: we have personally learned that upgrading to a quality knife makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in your cooking experience. Keep in mind that 1-3 really nice knives is plenty for most kitchens. Its all about deciding which style is right for the type of food you prepare. 

KNIFE GUIDE : 
A Gyuto knife is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef's knife. It is a true multi-purpose knife that can perform wide range of tasks, can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, vegetables and fruits. We encourage a Gyuto or Santoku for someone investing in their first quality knife because of their versatility. 

Also for the intermediate to advanced, this line was created to honor the Western style of knife from a Japanese approach. They are heavier in weight (as prized by Westerners) and more substantial in handle volume. They also need to be kept dry after each use so as not to rust, or oiled.
