MIYABI MCD-B Birchwood 6 Inch Gyuto Knife

The Chef's Knife, also known as the Gyutoh, is a versatile kitchen tool suitable for both professional and amateur chefs. Available in various lengths, including 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches, this all-rounder knife excels in a wide range of tasks. Its heft, weight, and balance make it suitable for heavy-duty work with thicker cuts of vegetables, fruits, and meats, as well as for delicate mincing and chopping of herbs.

The curved blade of the Chef's Knife enables a rocking cut, while the wide surface allows for knuckle clearance and the gathering of cut materials. The knife is crafted with a beautiful Masur Birchwood handle that 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.

Featuring a 63° Rockwell Hardness and an edge angle of 9.5-12° per side, the blade is made from Micro-Carbide MC63 powdered steel and undergoes a CRYODUR vacuum tempering process, as well as a three-step Honbazuke honing process. This meticulous craftsmanship results in a blade that is both incredibly sharp and durable.

Wrapping the blade core are 100 layers of stainless steel (50 layers per side), which are polished to reveal a unique and stunning flower Damascus pattern. The traditional Japanese D-shape Birchwood handle is further enhanced with a mosaic pin and a metal end cap featuring the MIYABI logo, proudly made in Seki, Japan.

In summary, the Chef's Knife, or Gyutoh, is an exceptional all-purpose kitchen tool that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques. Its versatility, sharp edge, and beautiful design make it a must-have for both professional and hobby chefs alike.
