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.
