Because of the shape of a gyuto blade, this knife is more functional than a traditional chef's knife. Originally, it was only for cutting meat, but it has become an indispensable kitchen knife for cutting just about everything from product to meat.  A gyuto knife can slice, dice, chop, and carve with precision. The blade is usually longer than a chef's blade, so it works for larger foods. Originally, a chef's knife was for cutting large meats. Now, it's used as an all-around kitchen knife. The blade ranges from 8 inches to 14 inches. Chef's knives also come with various edges, such as single or double grind, chisel, or convex. It can do all the things a gyuto knife can do, but it's less precise and heavier.
