Care and Maintenance
Taking good care of your handmade knife is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its cutting performance. Here are some care and maintenance suggestions:
Safe Handling:
- Handle the knife with caution, as it is extremely sharp. Always be mindful of your fingers and avoid contact with the blade's edge.
- Keep the knife out of the reach of children to prevent accidents or injuries.
Proper Use:
- Limit the knife's usage to cooking purposes only. Avoid using it for tasks like opening cans or boxes, which can damage the blade.
Cleaning:
- After each use, hand wash the knife using mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that can damage the blade or handle.
- Carefully clean both sides of the blade, the handle, and any other exposed parts.
- Rinse the knife thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Drying:
- Dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rust.
- Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the blade and handle completely dry. Ensure there are no water spots left.
Storage:
- Store the knife in a safe and dry place, away from moisture and humidity.
- Consider using a knife sheath or blade guard to protect the blade from accidental damage and to prevent injuries when retrieving or storing the knife.
Sharpening:
- To maintain satisfactory cutting performance, it is recommended to re-sharpen the knife once or twice per month. However, this frequency may vary depending on the knife's usage and your personal preference.
- Use a sharpening stone or honing rod designed for kitchen knives to restore the blade's sharpness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions or seek guidance from a professional if you're unsure about the sharpening process.
By following these care and maintenance practices, you can ensure that your handmade knife remains sharp, safe to use, and lasts for a long time.
More details
With the MIYABI 4000FC series, you get to know the long tradition of Japan’s artisan knife craftsmanship. Here, every kitchen knife fascinates with its beauty and sharpness. This also applies to this Gyutoh, with a 200 mm blade length. Its blade is honed on both sides, making it ideal for cutting meat and preparing large vegetables. A special FC61 steel that undergoes twofold ice-hardening is used for the FRIODUR blade. Its quality is demonstrated in its great hardness, and it is also able to withstand plenty of strain. The Katana-edge cut belongs to the tradition of master knife craftsmanship and is found on the blades of Japanese swords. The aesthetics of a Japanese chef’s knife is also always seen when looking at the handle. With the MIYABI 4000FC, the handle and bolster have an octagonal form. This turns the knife into a safe and comfortable instrument. Also contributing to the stylish appearance is the mosaic pin in an impregnated, dimensionally stable Pakka wood handle.

This 8” chef’s knife was everything I wanted and more. It arrived razor-sharp out of the box and, even after three months of regular use, it has maintained its edge remarkably well. It’s a beautiful looking knife too. The balance is spot on, making it incredibly comfortable to use—especially with a pinch grip. The handle feels natural and secure in hand, which makes long prep sessions much easier. I was so impressed that I ended up purchasing the rest of the set, and every piece has lived up to the same high standard. For anyone looking for a well-crafted, durable chef’s knife, this is an excellent choice.

MIYABI 4000 FC 9.5-Inch Gyutoh Knife – Brown Handle

The Hayami 130 arrived promptly and very sharp, one of the sharpest knives I've ever received from a vendor. It's convenient to have it razor sharp out of the box. I use petty knives a lot, just above my use of the cleaver. This knife is beautiful and extremely functional. The next petty knife will be about 100mm.

Super knife . Shipping was fast . Got them after a couple of days only to Montreal

Great product great company.Great service, very happy, quit shipping.Great packagi could do

My partner and I were so amazed by how we can already slice our fruits and vegetables with ease. We plan to collect all knife types!

It's like cutting through a cloud. Worth the money.

Perfect knife size for an all purpose kitchen knife and high quality. Light and sharp, has become my favorite knife. Customer service top notch when finding a sheath to protect and fit the knife.
