The Moritaka Supreme 210mm Gyuto is another fine example of the maker’s skill in applying a 50/50 grind to a traditional Japanese profile, enhancing versatility and ease of use while creating an ambidextrous cutting experience. Gyutos are prized for their adaptability, excelling in a wide range of kitchen tasks and earning a permanent place in many chefs’ knife rolls. The pointed tip and smooth push-pull cutting action make it a natural choice for both precision and speed. For those who appreciate the gyuto profile but have limited workspace, this 210mm version offers all the utility of a full-sized chef’s knife in a more compact form.
