Miyabi 5000 FCD Gyutoh, 16cm blade. The gyutoh is the chef’s knife of the Japanese kitchen, used as a general-purpose knife for preparing larger cuts of meat and vegetables. The blade core is made of hard fine carbide steel for very good initial sharpness and cutting-edge retention. 48 layers of steel surround the core and make up the Damascus design of the blade. A three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process called Honbazuke honing give the knife a razor-sharp cutting edge.

Avoid using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards as these will dull the cutting edge.

I love it! I peeled an orange and let the peelings dry then ground them and used them in a quick bread I was making and it worked great! So much better than using commercial peelings.. Vicki H.. Mon Jul 27 2026

Top-of-the-line Miyabi Birchwood is a work of culinary art. Both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance. More than meets the eye, the potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. Miyabi's innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the Cryodur blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern 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. Exquisite and ergonomic, Miyabi Birchwood knives feel as good as they look. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

These knives are a dream, I have a couple of them and they’re my absolute favorite. I have a lot of joint pain and these are so light and easy to use, and comfortable to grip.. Nathaniel. Fri Apr 02 2021
