Miyabi Koh 240mm (9.4") Gyuto Chef Knife

The Pinnacle of Hybrid Cutlery Performance

The Miyabi Koh 9.4-inch (240mm) Gyuto represents a breakthrough in modern metallurgy, bridging the gap between the legendary sharpness of Japanese blades and the rugged reliability of German engineering. While many Japanese knives are notoriously fragile, the Koh series utilizes advanced FC61 fine carbide stainless steel. This unique alloy provides the remarkable edge retention and hardness (61 HRC) expected of a premium Japanese tool, yet maintains a toughness that resists the chipping and corrosion often associated with high-carbon steels.

Master-Crafted in Seki, Japan

Each blade undergoes a rigorous journey in the historic city of Seki, the heart of Japanese sword-making. This isn't a mass-produced tool; it is a piece of culinary art. The blades are ice-hardened using the proprietary FRIODURx2® process, which optimizes the molecular structure of the steel to ensure the blade stays sharper for longer, even under heavy professional use. The final edge is hand-honed using the traditional three-step Honbazuke method, resulting in a scalpel-like 9.5 to 12-degree angle that glides through proteins and vegetables with zero resistance.

Ergonomic Perfection for the Modern Chef

Designed for those who prefer the reach and leverage of a larger 240mm blade, the Miyabi Koh feels surprisingly nimble. The lightweight construction (0.44 lbs) is perfectly balanced by an ergonomic, octagonal Pakkawood handle. This traditional Japanese shape provides a secure, comfortable grip that accommodates both Western-style 'rocking' cuts and Eastern-style 'push' cuts. Finished with a stunning silver mosaic pin, the Koh is as aesthetically striking as it is functional.
