Minor differences in Japanese kitchen knives

Gyuto / Chef

Gyuto / Chef

Gyuto is characterized by its slightly larger size, longer blade length, and heavier shape. This makes it easy to apply force and easily cut through meat, fish, hard and large foods. Another feature is that the tip of the blade, called the cutting edge, is sharp. By making good use of this part, you can easily perform detailed work such as poking meat and fish or cutting muscle.
Also, the long blade length makes it easy to apply force, making it convenient for cutting large squash or cabbage whole!
If you often cook meat or fish or handle many types of food, it is convenient to have one Gyuto for all kinds of food.

Santoku

Santoku

Santoku knives have a blade with many sides parallel to the cutting board and a rounded tip. In addition, the blade length is usually about 15cm to 18cm. It is suitable for chopping leafy vegetables and other small fruits into chunks, and is characterized by its ability to cut smoothly and with little chance of missing a cut. Since meat and fish can also be cut without difficulty, a santoku knife can be used to smoothly perform most common home cooking tasks. The rounded tip of the blade makes it safe to use, which is another appealing feature. The size of the knife makes it easy to use even in a small kitchen, and it is useful as an all-purpose knife for home use.

Sujihiki / Slicer

Sujihiki / Slicer

Sujihiki is mainly used as a meat knife, with a narrower blade, and is used for slicing large blocks of meat along the stripes. Many people use it as a slicer, and recently more and more cooks are using it as a sashimi knife. Compared to the double-edged Gyuto and Petit knives, this knife has a structure similar to that of a single-edged knife, which makes it easier to cut away even when slicing meat.
