Depending upon what task I am doing, sometimes I prefer a larger chef knife than the traditional 8" chef. Whether I am working with large mellons or slicing large roasts, I much prefer a longer chef knife. I love the Koh line for it looks, but also for how sharp it is. The FC61 steel and the special ice-hardening make this a very sharp knife that will remain sharp longer than most knives. This knife makes everything easy!
The best of both worlds! You get a beautiful combo of German stainless steel and Japanese craftsmanship for a Miyabi knife that lasts a lifetime. The Koh series is made with the Friodur process - ice-hardened for extra sharpness and durability, will remain stain-free and not chip. The Pakkawood handle is super-comfortable and gives a good grip. All are made in Seki, Japan, the previous sword capital of the world. So you know you are getting a great knife with superb quality!
I really like this super light knife great for cutting long periods of time. FC61 steel is very tough it would be hard to chip this sharp blade. 9.5” looks really big but once it’s in the hand it doesn’t feel big.
Made from FC 61 this knife is extremely chip and corrosion resistant. Feels very light in the hand but is still stable to cut with. The octagon handle has a comfortable shape that feels secure and smooth. This chef is well balanced achieving the illusion of a shorter blade.
Simply elegant. Sharp, durable,well balanced. The handle is comfortable to hold and as smooth as the finish of the blade. Magnificent Miyabi! This 9.5 inch size is not imposing at all. A great size for slicing over sized fruits and vegetables. Slice the most pristine pieces of meat and fish!
Really impressed. I wasn't sure if I would find the handle comfortable, but it certainly is. Super sharp, slices cucumbers paper thin. Lightweight as you would expect a Japanese knife to be.
Grab this lightweight Koh chef's knife when you want a workhorse in the kitchen. Don't let the lighter weight fool you because this big guy is extremely durable and extra sharp.
