Chef's Knife / Gyutoh: The all-rounder for professional and hobby chefs, also called a cook's knife, is a versatile kitchen knife available in various lengths of 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches. The heft, weight and balance of this knife allow it to be used for both heavy duty work with thicker cuts of vegetables, fruits and meats or mincing and chopping herbs. The curved blade enables a rocking cut and wide surface enables knuckle clearance and gathering of cut materials.
A beautiful Masur Birchwood handle leads into 101 layers of steel, precision ground to expose an exquisite flower Damask pattern and a cutting core of ultra-hard Micro-Carbide MC63 powdered steel.
Size 6", 63° Rockwell Hardness, Edge Angle 9.5-12° per side
Micro-Carbide MC63 powdered steel core, CRYODUR vacuum tempered blades, three-step Honbazuke honing process
100 layers of stainless steel (50 layers per side) wrap the blade core and are polished to reveal a one-of-a-kind flower Damascus pattern
Traditional Japanese D-shape Birchwood handle enhanced with a mosaic pin and a metal end cap featuring the MIYABI logo, made in Seki, Japan
I have owned steel knives from Henkel, Wusthof, Cutco (mistake!), shun Classic and ceramic knives from several Japanese brands. When this knife arrived, I set it aside until my birthday came up at the beginning of October. I was quite excited to try it once it was unwrapped on my b-day. Whether I was dicing vegetables, or thinly slicing tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc for the top of my home made pizza, I was able to more accurately control my knife work and more easily get he exact result that I wanted.This knife is far sharper than any previous knife that I have owned. I have always taken very good care of my knives, so I am used to keeping the blade true and sharp, but this is on another level. If I had it all to do again, I would buy two or three ceramic knives as good basic day to day knives and I would buy the Miyabi as my best knife. Other than a really good bread knife, I would have no need for anything else.Very highly recommended
