Have you been looking for the perfect place to discover the ancient and beautiful art of handcrafted Japanese knives?

Perhaps you've heard about the amazing sharpness and unrivaled cutting performance that a knife from Japan offers, and you wondered where to get them without going all the way to the country.

Maybe a friend told you that once they started using Japanese cutlery they stopped using their regular knives and you wanted to learn more?

Or, maybe you were out at your favorite sushi spot and the chef's knife caught your eye, and as you watched him prepare the sushi, it looked super effective.

You're in the right place. The TAKASHI Japanese Kitchen Knives have arrived in South Africa and are exclusively sold on Takealot.

Gyuto is a Japanese version of a Western-style main kitchen knife (chef's knife).

If you're looking for something familiar but with a twist, then a Gyuto knife is the one for you. The name, when translated literally, means 'cow sword.' But it's used for a lot more than just beef. It's the Japanese equivalent of the Western chef's knife. It's used for chopping, dicing, and slicing almost anything in the kitchen. As a result, a Gyuto is an exceptionally versatile knife. It is often the first choice for those looking to buy a Japanese knife.

The Perfect Start
If you need something to cover all the bases, you can't go wrong with a Gyuto. An important thing to consider when buying a Gyuto is getting the correct size. Generally, the bigger you are, the bigger your knife should be.
