Zwilling MIYABI 5000 FCD Gyutoh Knife 16 cm Welded

The MIYABI 5000 FCD series Gyutoh knife, with a 16 cm blade, is the ideal tool for preparing large cuts of meat and vegetables in Japanese cuisine. Featuring a core of hard FC61 carbide steel, this knife offers excellent initial sharpness and excellent edge retention. The 48 layers of steel surrounding the core create a distinctive Damascus design, while the Honbazuke sharpening process gives the blade superior cutting precision. The symmetrical cutting edge allows for versatile use, whether left- or right-handed, while the pakkawood handle, finished with a mosaic pin and steel end cap, ensures excellent ergonomics. To keep the blade in top condition, we recommend hand washing and stone sharpening, avoiding glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards.
