Description
MIYABI Black 5000MCD67 9.5-inch Gyutoh is a true work of art and a new standard in Japanese knife-making. The blade is constructed of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, CRYODUR ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC, resulting in an exceptionally sharp and lasting edge. The blade is wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, creating a beautiful 133-layer Flower Damascus pattern. The handle is made from unique black maple (black ash) wood, whose grain and colour contrast beautifully with the Damascus blade. Crafted in a traditional D-shape, the handle provides optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting. The edge is hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process to a 9.5 to 12 degree angle (19 to 24 degrees total) for an ultra-sharp cutting edge. Hand wash only. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
