Miyabi - 5000 FCD Kaizen II 6" Gyutoh/Chef Knife

The MIYABI 5000 FCD Gyutoh with a 6" blade is the quintessential chef’s knife in the Japanese kitchen, designed for precision and versatility when preparing larger cuts of meat and vegetables. Its blade core is crafted from fine carbide steel, ensuring excellent sharpness and edge retention. Surrounding the core, 48 layers of steel form a striking Damascus pattern that enhances both durability and aesthetics. The blade undergoes Honbazuke honing, a meticulous three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process that results in a razor-sharp cutting edge. Without a finger guard, the entire length of the blade is fully usable, offering maximum efficiency. The symmetrical edge makes it suitable for both left- and right-handed users, while the seamless transition between the handle and bolster provides comfort and prevents calluses from forming on the thumb and forefinger.

For optimal care, handwashing is recommended, along with regular maintenance and sharpening using whetstones. To preserve the blade’s sharpness, avoid cutting on glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces, opting instead for a wooden cutting board. The MIYABI 5000 FCD Gyutoh embodies Japanese craftsmanship, combining elegance with exceptional performance in the kitchen.
