MIYABI
5000 MCD
9-inch, Gyutoh, brown
Description
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.

MIYABI 5000MCD
Aesthetics have played a key role in Japanese cuisine since time immemorial. The look of a dish and the way it is presented on the plate are just as much a part of the pleasure as its taste and aroma. In the kitchen, Japanese chefs are just as demanding where aesthetics are concerned as they are with functionality. The MIYABI 5000MCD series of knives provides professionals and ambitious amateur chefs with a set of precision knives that combine perfect functionality and ergonomics with unique design.
BIRCH HANDLE
Each handle made of top-quality Masur birch is also unique. The structure of the wood handle is reflected through the interplay of lines and stripes. The warmth of the natural wood contrasts nicely with the steel blade. A mosaic pin finishes off the sophisticated look.
D-Shaped Handle
The traditional Japanese ‘D-shaped’ handle ensures all handle styles are ergonomic and enables you to work without tiring. The ‘D-shaped’ handle is rounded off at its end with a decorative end cap with a logo.
PREMIUM STEEL
The blade core made of MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel is surrounded by 100 layers of two different types of steel with different levels of hardness. MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel is a high-grade steel for the highest demands.
SLEEK DAMASK DESIGN
A special blade treatment alters the surface structure of each layer, giving each blade its individual floral damask pattern.
HONBAZUKE HONING
This traditional Japanese Honbazuke honing gives every blade its incomparable sharpness. The 19° symmetrical blade is the result of v-edge honing.
EXTREMELY HARD BLADE
The CRYODUR® blade is hardened using a specially developed ice-hardening process at -196°C that guarantees extreme hardness of 63 Rockwell and a lasting sharp blade.
