ZWILLING Miyabi 5000 MCD 67 Steel 1 pc(s) Gyutoh knife

Where most chef's knives settle for a single steel, the Miyabi 5000 MCD 67 Gyutoh layers 67 sheets of Damascus cladding around a MicroCarbide powder steel core—then ice-hardens the result to 66–67 HRC. The outcome is a blade that holds a scalpel-sharp edge through marathon prep sessions, yet resists corrosion and chips with the calm of a far heavier knife.

Highlights

• MC67 MicroCarbide powder steel core, hardened to 66–67 Rockwell for extreme edge retention
• 67-layer flower Damascus cladding with a hand-honed symmetrical Honbazuke edge (approx. 9.5–12° per side)
• CRYODUR® ice-hardening process for enhanced toughness and corrosion resistance
• Traditional D-shaped Masur birch wood handle, full tang, with stainless steel bolster
• Handcrafted in Seki, Japan—each knife is a one-piece work of functional art

In daily use

The 200 mm blade is the sweet spot for a home or professional kitchen: long enough to slice a ribeye in one clean stroke, nimble enough to mince shallots without fatigue. The D-shaped handle locks into a right-handed pinch grip, while the full tang and bolster balance the knife at the bolster for precise control. Whether you're breaking down a chicken, chiffonading basil, or portioning sashimi, the edge geometry glides through product with minimal wedging.
