Authentic Japanese chef's knife designed for precision, balance, and versatile kitchen performance.
The Satake Masamune Gyuto 21 cm is a classic Japanese chef's knife built for slicing, chopping, and precision preparation. Manufactured in Japan by Satake Cutlery Mfg. Co., Ltd., this knife blends traditional Japanese knife design with durable stainless steel construction for reliable everyday performance.
The Gyuto blade profile is the Japanese equivalent of a Western chef's knife but features a thinner blade and lighter construction. This allows smoother slicing, improved control, and reduced cutting resistance. Crafted from Nippon Koshuha U420J2 stainless steel and paired with a lightweight rubber wood handle, the Masamune Gyuto offers excellent balance and comfortable handling for both professional chefs and home cooks.
Traditional Gyuto Chef Knife
The Gyuto is one of Japan's most versatile kitchen knives. Its gently curved edge allows both rocking cuts and push-cutting techniques, making it ideal for preparing meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs.
Perfect for slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, and handling most kitchen tasks with precision and control.
