2.  There are a number of different types of Japanese kitchen knives. Much high-quality Japanese knives originates from Sakai, the capital of samurai sword manufacturing since the 14th century. After the Meiji Restoration, the carrying of swords by the samurai class was banned as part of an attempt to modernize Japan. Though demand for military swords remained and some sword smiths still produced traditional samurai swords as art, the majority of sword smiths refocused their skill to cutlery production.Sakaisamurai sword Meiji Restoration

12.  GYUTO GYUTO is a chef's knife, also known as a French knife or a cook's knife, is a cutting tool used in food preparation. Today it is the primary general-utility knife for most Western cooks. There are two common types of blade shape, French and German. German-style knives are more deeply and continuously curved along the whole cutting edge; the French style has an edge that is straighter until the end and then curves up to the tip. It can be used for mincing, slicing, and chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and disjointing large cuts.cutting toolfood preparation

14.  Japanese knives are often single ground, i.e., sharpened so that only one side holds the cutting edge. Some Japanese knives are angled from both sides, and others are angled only from one side, with the other side of the blade being flat. It was originally believed that a blade angled only on one side cuts better and makes cleaner cuts, though requiring more skill in its use than a blade with a double-beveled edge.ground
