Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout Hinokuni Sakai - \u003c\/b\u003eYukihiro Sakai-san was apprenticed under Nishida-san in Kumamoto,  a staunch traditionalist who strictly forge-welds his steel in-house.
