Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Miyabi 5000MCD Birchwood Gyuto 24cm used for?
A 24cm Gyuto can be an excellent choice for home cooks who are comfortable with a longer blade. The additional length provides more cutting surface and can make slicing larger ingredients and portions more efficient. However, cooks with smaller workspaces or who prefer greater manoeuvrability may find a 20cm Gyuto easier to handle.
Is a 24cm Gyuto too big for home cooking?
A 24cm Gyuto can be an excellent choice for home cooks who are comfortable with a longer blade. The additional length provides more cutting surface and can make slicing larger ingredients and portions more efficient. However, cooks with smaller workspaces or who prefer greater manoeuvrability may find a 20cm Gyuto easier to handle.
What are the benefits of SG2 steel in the Miyabi 5000MCD Gyuto?
SG2 is a Japanese powder metallurgy stainless steel known for high hardness, edge retention and wear resistance. In the Miyabi 5000MCD Gyuto, the SG2 core is designed to provide a hard, fine cutting edge with strong edge retention.
Why do Miyabi Birchwood knives have a Damascus pattern?
The Miyabi 5000MCD Birchwood Gyuto features a 101-layer Damascus construction that creates its distinctive flowing blade pattern. The Damascus layering also forms part of the blade's overall construction and reflects the knife's Japanese craftsmanship and design.
What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?
Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.
We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.
Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?
We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.
Is this knife dishwasher-safe?
We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.
How should I sharpen this knife?
You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.
What’s the best way to store this knife?
Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
