Description
MIYABI Birchwood 5000MCD 6.5-inch Gyutoh is a work of culinary art where both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials. The potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel, and MIYABI's innovative CRYODUR ice-hardening process locks in long-lasting sharpness at 63 HRC. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the 101-layer Flower Damascus pattern with katana edge provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. The D-shaped handle is exquisite and ergonomic, with a rounded spine and heel for refined handling. Honbazuke-honed using the three-step process to a 9.5 to 12 degree edge. Hand wash only. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
