The 9.5" Gyuto is the workhorse of the kitchen. You can use this knife for just about every prepping task. Chop onions, slice meat, and mince garlic with this all-rounder knife.

German engineering meets exquisite Japanese craftsmanship in this knife line. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan by highly trained artisans using the traditional Honbazuke method, the MIYABI Koh 8-inch chef’s knife features advanced FC61 fine carbide stainless steel - 61 hardness on the Rockwell scale – that provides unsurpassed corrosion and chip resistance. This cutting-edge steel ensures the hand-honed blades retain their impressive sharpness for a long time. Thanks to an innovative, ice-hardening process, the FRIODURx2 blades offer remarkable durability, sharpness, and cutting performance. The stunning blades feature an embossed MIYABI logo and are finished with a true katana edge, homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago.

Stylishly stamped with a silver mosaic pin, the exquisite octagon-shaped handle feels as good as it looks. The Pakkawood handle supports both Western chopping and Asian rocking cuts - experience ergonomic perfection with each slice.

Care:

Hand-wash stainless steel knives immediately after use with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a towel right away to prevent water spots and corrosion — do not air dry. Never place them in the dishwasher, as high heat and detergents ruin the edge and handle. Store securely in a knife block, magnetic strip, or sheath

Maintenance: Use wooden or plastic cutting boards; avoid glass, granite, steel, and bamboo. Use a ceramic honing rod regularly to maintain the edge.

Do not use for cutting bones, frozen food, or extremely hard items to avoid chipping.
