Miyabi 6000MCT Gyutoh & Shotoh 2pc Knife Set Brown

The two knives every serious home cook reaches for most — a 20cm Gyutoh chef's knife and a 13cm Shotoh paring knife — brought together in one exceptional Japanese-crafted set. The Miyabi 6000MCT collection represents the finest meeting point of centuries-old Japanese bladesmithing tradition and modern metallurgical innovation, and every detail of this two-piece set reflects that heritage without compromise.

The blades are built around a core of SG2 Microcarbide MC63 powder steel — one of the hardest, most refined blade materials available — embedded in two layers of steel for a hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell. This exceptional hardness translates directly into edge retention that outlasts conventional knives by a considerable margin, meaning less frequent sharpening and a blade that stays sharper for longer through daily professional use. CRYODUR® ice-hardening treatment further enhances cutting edge retention, corrosion resistance, and blade flexibility in a single process.

The Tsuchime hand-hammered finish running the length of each blade is as functional as it is beautiful — the irregular surface reduces friction and prevents food from sticking during slicing, a subtle but genuinely useful advantage in daily prep work. Each blade is hand-honed to a symmetrical Honbazuke edge, a finishing technique borrowed directly from the katana-making traditions of Seki — producing an edge of extraordinary sharpness straight from the box.

The dimensionally-stable rose Pakkawood handle delivers perfect balance, outstanding grip comfort, and fatigue-free cutting across every technique — the kind of handle that disappears into your hand and lets the blade do the work entirely.
