F. Dick Eurasia 7-inch Gyuto

A thinner profile than other F. Dick forged knives makes this 7-inch Eurasia gyuto a nimble blade for fine cuts such as julienne and dicing, and it handles fish well. The reduced bolster suits a cook with a good pinch grip.

The shorter length gives close control near the tip, which helps with brunoise and with slicing fish for plating. The blade is forged and balanced, with a well-proportioned handle sealed to the steel for hygiene. It is a good choice for smaller hands or a small cutting board.

It also slices raw fish for sashimi and crudo with clean faces, and it trims a chicken breast neatly. A cook who prefers a lighter knife may find it easier to use for long prep sessions than an 8-inch blade, and it fits a small knife roll.

For more length, the Eurasia 8-inch gyuto is the all-purpose size. A vegetable-focused alternative is the Eurasia 7-inch granton edge santoku, and the comparison table below lists the full Eurasia range.
