KnifePlanet's complete guide on Japanese Chef Knives: http://www.knifeplanet.net/best-japanese-chef-knives-gyuto/
The Miyabi Birchwood is 8 inches long, features a SG2 super steel blade and it's my favorite Gyuto. It's really easy to sharpen and maintain and comes very sharp right out of the box.
Japanese chef knives are versatile, and I use this knife for many different tasks in my kitchen, such as:
- Cutting vegetables
- Slicing and dicing
- Cutting fish and meat
The Miyabi Gyuto is made in Japan and performs really well. The wooden handle is what I like the most about it: comfortable, well balanced and durable.
If you're looking for a great japanese-style knife, this Gyuto is for you.
