The Miyabi 5000FCD Gyuto 16cm brings Japanese craftsmanship to a compact chef’s knife designed for precision and everyday kitchen preparation.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, it features an FC61 Fine Carbide steel core surrounded by 48 layers of Damascus steel, creating the distinctive floral Damascus finish of the 5000FCD series. The blade is FRIODUR® ice-hardened to 60–62 HRC and finished with a traditional Honbazuke hand-finished symmetrical V-edge.
At 16cm, the Gyuto offers a compact alternative to a longer chef’s knife, making it well suited to cooks who prefer a shorter blade for chopping, slicing, dicing and more detailed preparation. The black Pakka wood handle completes its classic Japanese design.
