Use the Shikisai Miyako gyuto knife to slice, dice, mince and chop. This Japanese knife is lighter and sharper than a Western chef’s knife. It’s typically used to prepare vegetables but you can use it for all kinds of cutting tasks.

This gyuto knife is great for slicing onions and trimming green beans. The powerful steel blade tackles tough-skinned vegetables with ease. Use it to chop celeriac or squash for soups and stews.

The blade is made from 33 layers of Damascus steel with an AUS8 steel core. This combination gives you a knife that is razor-sharp and extremely strong. Damascus steel knives are a popular choice in professional kitchens. They are coveted for their durability and ability to retain their edge.

The D-shaped handle offers superior comfort and balance. It’s made from laminated hardwood with a stainless steel bolster and end cap.

Shikisai Miyako knives are made in Japan at a small, family-run factory. They offer premium performance at an accessible price point.
