Miyabi Koh Chef’s Knife, 8"

An FC61 stainless steel chef's knife is a do-it-all shape made for everyday kitchen prep. Use it for dicing fruits and vegetables, slicing and chopping produce, carving roasted meats and breaking down poultry. It is a smart first pick when you want one knife that can cover most cutting tasks.

The forged chef's knife is hand-honed to a 9.5 to 12-degree edge. That acute angle is designed to deliver clean, precise cuts and a refined feel on the board.

Miyabi uses the Friodur2 hardening process to improve the microstructure of the steel. According to the maker, that helps support cutting performance, corrosion resistance and long-term durability in the stainless steel blade.

Full-tang construction means the blade steel extends through the handle. On a chef's knife, that build can support steady balance and a confident, controlled feel as you work through longer prep sessions.

The Miyabi Koh handle is faceted pakkawood shaped to feel natural in either a Western or Eastern hold. Each handle is individually weight-tested in a nine-step process to help ensure comfortable ergonomics and consistent balance from knife to knife.
