Despite its name, it is a true all‑purpose knife, comparable in versatility to a santoku and suitable for meat, vegetables, and fish. Many cooks consider a gyuto or chef’s knife the single essential knife in the kitchen. Compared to German‑style chef’s knives, gyutos typically have a flatter edge profile and a thinner blade, which favors precise push‑cutting over rock‑chopping. Because they are thinner at the edge and spine, they cut more efficiently, but care should be taken not to torque the blade while cutting to minimize the risk of chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Takayuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271466090586,"sku":"36667","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/files\/36667_Sakai_Takayuki_TUS_Steel_Gyuto_180mm.jpg?v=1777412883","url":"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/products\/sakai-takayuki-tus-steel-gyuto-180mm","provider":"MTC Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
