Shizu Hamono Shikisai Miyako Bessaku SB-1102 gyuto chef's knife, 18 cm

The Shizu Hamono Shikisai Miyako Bessaku gyuto 18 cm is the smallest version of this versatile Japanese kitchen knife. In Japanese, Gyuto means 'cow sword'. Sounds gruesome, but it simply means that this knife was originally designed to prepare meat. Today, the gyuto knife is considered an all-round chef's knife for cutting meat, fish and vegetables.
