Miyabi 5000MCD Birchwood Gyutoh Chef Knife 24cm
The 24 cm-long GYUTOH from Miyabi is perfect for cutting or slicing through meat or fish. Its slim yet stable blade delivers a perfectly controlled and clean cut. It has an authentic Japanese profile with an extremely sharp Honbazuke honing and is symmetrically polished at an angle of 19 degrees. The blade is first sharpened twice on rotating stones and is then polished on a leather wheel. Ease of handling is guaranteed by the handle, made of beautiful Masur birch, creating a thing of beauty with its light and dark lines. The interplay of colours within the graining represents an attractive addition to the floral Damask pattern on the blade, making each knife a unique work of art. The D-shaped handle also offers perfect balance, guaranteeing optimum control and fatigue-free cutting. A core of Micro Carbide MC63 powder steel is used to produce the blade, embedded in 100 layers of two different types of steel, both with different degrees of hardness. The CRYUDOR blade is also ice-hardened in a specially developed process at -196 degrees Celsius to give it a final hardness of around 63 Rockwell. Cutting meat, fish and vegetables is a breeze with the GYUTOH from the MIYABI 5000MCD series.

Amazing knife. Super sharp but a pleasure to use. The gentlemen at Knifewear are very knowledgeable and share information easily without pressure to buy. Bought the knife as a birthday gift for my husband and he loves it. Best knife we have every owned by far.

Beautiful stainless knife! Wanted something a but more robust/special than a cheap stainless knife but not as care intensive as a carbon steel blade. It is sharp out of the box! With a beautiful finish. Does not get as/stay as sharp as carbon knives, but thats the nature/sacrifice for rust/corrosion resistance. If you want to get a professional knife with a Japanese feel, this is the one. Larger hands may find the handle thin, but precise. Handle shaped for righty’s (asymmetrical handle)

This aan amazing knife! The folds of metal in the blade are true art. It is balanced well, and fits in my hand and my husband's. The edge holds a good sharpness and is a great addition to our knife collection. It's a bit of a show piece with the gorgeous birch handle and Damascus blade!

I fell in love with this Miyabi line the first time I picked one up. Miyabi Birchwood is a beautifully hand-crafted and made of the one of the best steels for kitchen knives. The smooth birchwood handle fits my hand perfectly; and the inset emblem is an elegant touch. But the part I really love is the blade. The exquisite flower patterned blades belie their hardness, their ability to keep an edge, their gleam. What a joy. The chef’s knives are flatter – great for chopping; especially for someone who grew up with a nakiri as my training knife. Enjoy these knives for a lifetime.
This is such a joy for me!I'm an old guy who learned to rely on women to do the cooking. I have been a single parent for nearly 20 years now. The first few years I made food that...well, the nutrients were in it, but generally a mushy and homely melange. But a person learns. Over the last decade or so I've gotten pretty good People like the food I make, and the presentation is generally photogenic.Knives...At first I had a bunch of mismatched knives that I struggled to use. A while back I bought a $200 set of knives and it made quite a difference. Just recently and quite by chance I found a store that specializes in Japanese knives. I went in and came out with a Miyabi SG2 Birchwood Gyuto 200mm knife. I can't say enough about it. It sure is good looking.

A while back I bought a $200 set of knives and it made quite a difference. Just recently and quite by chance I found a store that specializes in Japanese knives. I went in and came out with a Miyabi SG2 Birchwood Gyuto 200mm knife. I can't say enough about it. It sure is good looking. Obviously there is an "art" in artisan and it's plainly visible in this knife. The steel is silver with dark ripples showing that it has been made with skill and care. The handle is worthy of such a beautiful blade. Smooth and hard, with an inlay so perfectly inset that it is absolutely smooth at the surface. It's balanced and so comfortable to hold and to wield.I've never had a knife with so keen a blade. It takes a beautiful edge and holds it well. Cutting with it is effortless. Finely I can thin slice and finely dice and it comes out looking like it ought to. Care is simple: Just mild soap and water, rinse, and dry before putting it in the blade guard. When I take it out I hone it against the ceramic rod I purchased with it and it's just as fresh and new as it was when I purchased it. So easy to do.I've known for a while that I would one day have a really good set of knives. This is my first one; it will not be my last.I cannot recommend it more highly.
I'd wanted this for a few years now, finally bit the bullet and bought it. Ordered Friday night, in my hands Wednesday morning.I was very impressed with the whole process.Easy online purchase, email updates, packaging, the care taken for delivery (and Aust Post for once) and finally, WOW! What a presentation. Beautiful boxing and it was like looking at a newborn.Very sharp out of the box but I gave the edge a once over with a 20x magnifier and decided to run it over a strop to bring the edge up. Obligatory tomato test passed then in my car to my brother's place for an evening of bragging and cutting. It is a thing of beauty as well as utility.
I am writing this review after roughly two years of heavy use with this knife in a professional setting.The main high points for me with this knife are:- blade is thin enough that it will glide through most vegetable prep and fruit prep with ease- edge retention is great and blade does not need to be sharpened or even honed daily. During proper use the blade should hold its sharpest edge without being touched up for at least a week and up to a month in a professional kitchen, for home cooks this could translate to a year or more.- cosmetically the blade is very pleasing after a few sessions of oiling the handle it begins to show the wood grain very beautifully. Additionally, the polishing on the spine of the knife is done very well and all edges are rounded ... MoreI am writing this review after roughly two years of heavy use with this knife in a professional setting.The main high points for me with this knife are:- blade is thin enough that it will glide through most vegetable prep and fruit prep with ease- edge retention is great and blade does not need to be sharpened or even honed daily.

I love the knife for its sharpness. However, I already have six chips in it. I take very good care of my knives. I’ve only cut vegetables and boneless meats, no dragging across the board, cleaned and stored in a Henkel sleeve, and no one else uses it. I was shocked to see how easily this thing chips.I don’t know if warranty covers chips. It’s unfortunate when you are afraid to use your favourite knife.
I would like to begin by saying I have rather large hands, usually wear XXL gloves. Reason I mention this is that the only reason why I did not give this a 5 star rating is due to the handle thickness.This Knife is held not only by the handle but by the blade itself, usually a couple of digits so that one has complete control of what you are cutting. This is the typical way Japanese knives are held.This knife came razor sharp, with beautiful detail of the Damascus look. ( note to reader Damascus steel cutlery is made differently then out door knives and the effect is done by layering and welding)This knife was rated the top knife for its' longevity (ability to last a lifetime)The parent company Zwilling, has by far the best warranty service that I have seen ... MoreI would like to begin by saying I have rather large hands, usually wear XXL gloves.

The fact it took so many decades prior to this replacement speaks volumes of the quality of this parent company.Just a heads up, this is Japanese style Chef knife and should not be confused or compared to western Chef knives as there are many differences between the two in way of using, weight of knife, and care.
Had a delightful experience ordering this, shipped out immediately and arrived in Melbourne/Naarm in just a couple of days. I had accidentally put an old address down and Ken recitified this literally within minutes saving me a weekend of anxiety.The knife is incredible! High recommended for fellow vegans out there! An elegant tool, cuts superbly, and feels so comfortable in your hand.
