Best Gyuto Knives on a Budget: Top Picks Under $100 [2026]

Posted on June 21, 2020 Written by Joseph Stein

1

In this article, we’ll take a look at the best gyuto knives on a budget.

When literally translated, gyuto means “beef knife” or “cow sword” in Japanese. It’s the Japanese iteration of the Western or European chef’s knife, except that it tends to have a thinner and sharper blade. Typically, this is a knife that is considered to be quite versatile in its use even though its name suggests that is predominantly used for beef cuts.

Gyuto knives have a standard shape, but it comes in all sorts of different sizes ranging from 150mm to 360mm. However, the 210mm variant seems to be the most popular one.
