8" / 20 cm GYUTOH knife is suitable for cutting and separating fish and meat. Its pointed tip and sturdy blade enable clean cuts to be made. The blade is hammer-forged, giving it an appearance slightly reminiscent of the Tschumine design. In addition, each blade of the MIYABI 600MCT series is put through different ice-hardening processes which must be completed at -196°C, so that a final hardness of around 63 Rockwell is achieved. The blade is polished on both sides and finished by hand using Honbazuke honing.
