Gyutos often have a reputation as being more fragile than a normal chef's knife, but this isn't entirely true. The M16125 holds an edge well, and the blade is relatively thin, so there isn't as much resistance when cutting. I tried using it on tough ingredients such as butternut squash, and it worked better than the typical fatter German style knives.

This knife was a lot more money than what I wanted to spend but after recommendations from friends, I needed to purchase this. After just one use, I was blown away by it's quality. You have to use it to believe it. I would highly recommend it.

This is the first time I have used very hard steel cutlery in the kitchen, and I now think that all those years using European softer steel -often with heavier blades- was a mistake. I do miss the flared butt for comfort against the middle finger during use, and I am having to learn new techniques. But overall, the far superior edge holding power and Japanese bevel is making vegetable prep easier.

This knife is amazing! It holds an edge like a champ. I've had it for 2 months already and haven't had to sharpen in yet. Just have to take it to the steel and it does wonders! Buy this knife. No need to hesitate on this purchase.

While this isn't a super high end, imported Japanese knife, for what it's worth, this is a very well made knife. It comes sharp and it stays sharp. It's easy to clean and looks great. It's my daily knife now.

This knife has a very long blade but the knife itself is well made and very sturdy. The blade is firm and very sharp! It cuts easily and is long lasting. I would recommend this for any restaurant.
