The Miyabi 6000 MCT 20cm Gyutoh is the perfect knife for your kitchen. It's made of a blade core made of MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel embedded in 2 layers of steel.

This provides a hardness of approx. 63 Rockwell. (International standard unit of measurement for hardness) CRYODUR® ice-hardened blades provide particularly good cutting edge retention, corrosion resistance and optimum blade flexibility. The authentic Japanese blade profile with Tsuchime look (hammered finish) ensures incredible sharpness.

The symmetrical blade with ultra-sharp Honbazuke edge provides incredible cutting power and controllability.

The dimensionally-stable pakka wood handle provides outstanding comfort, balance, and fatigue-free cutting.

Thanks to the ultra-sharp blade, despite its smaller size, this knife packs a powerful punch when it comes to chopping and dicing things like fruit and even tougher vegetables with complete ease and precision.

To ensure the knife stays in the best shape possible, it should be sharpened regularly, and should be cleaned only with warm water and a light detergent before being left to fully dry in between each use.

It shouldn't be used in the dishwasher, submerged in water, or cleaned with a hard or rough sponge that could cause damage to the blade.

This knife would make the perfect gift for someone who loves to cook - or even just a treat to yourself if your current knives are starting to look a bit worn and you'd like to get some professional quality knives that you know will last.
