Description
MIYABI Black 5000MCD67 8-inch Gyutoh is a true work of art and a new standard in Japanese knife-making. The MicroCarbide powder MC66 steel core delivers extremely good sharpness and cutting edge retention, surrounded by 132 outer layers of steel that create the unique Flower Damascus pattern on the blade. The cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed and symmetrical (not single bevel), making it suitable for both right and left-handed users. There is no finger guard so the entire length of the cutting edge can be used. The black maple (black ash) wood handle sits comfortably in the hand, allowing firm control and tireless working. Maintain and sharpen using whetstones. Avoid cutting on glass, ceramic or stone boards. Hand wash only. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
