Miyabi Koh 8-inch Chef's Knife

The Miyabi Koh 8-inch chef's knife is fabricated from FC61 fine carbide stainless steel hardened to 61 Rockwell. It is designed for cooks who want a single blade that can handle the majority of daily kitchen prep work.

Practical limits of the FC61 steel

The ice-hardened FRIODURx2 process gives the blade high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. The true katana edge excels at precise slicing and chopping but is not intended for heavy cleaving through bones or frozen foods.

Installing and caring for the Pakkawood handle

The octagon-shaped Pakkawood handle with silver mosaic pin arrives ready to use with no assembly required. The main risk is exposing the handle to prolonged soaking or dishwasher cycles, which can degrade the wood composite over time.
