Henckels Miyabi 6000MCT Artisan 8" Chefs Knife 1019789

The Henckels Miyabi 6000MCT Artisan 8" Chef’s Knife is a rugged, reliable blade built for serious kitchen work. Whether you're chopping herbs, dicing onions, or mincing garlic, this knife delivers exceptional performance with precision and control. Its 8-inch blade, forged from revolutionary SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, offers a potent combination of strength and sharpness. With a Rockwell hardness of 63, it holds its edge through countless tasks without losing its bite.

This knife is more than just a kitchen tool—it’s a tribute to centuries of Japanese craftsmanship. Each blade is hand-honed using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method and finished with a mirror polish and a distinctive katana edge, a nod to the legendary samurai swords forged in Seki, Japan. The Tsuchime hand-hammered finish not only adds striking beauty but also serves a practical purpose by reducing drag and preventing food from sticking to the blade.

The CRYODUR ice-hardening process enhances durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, ensuring this knife stands up to the rigors of everyday use. At just 0.08" thick, the blade is thin enough for precision slicing but strong enough to power through denser ingredients. Its authentic Japanese blade profile boasts an edge angle between 9.5° and 12°, offering scalpel-like sharpness.

Comfort meets craftsmanship in the handle. Made from rich Cocobolo Rosewood Pakkawood, the D-shaped handle is designed to nestle securely in your grip, reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions. It features brass and red spacers, a mosaic pin, and a stainless-steel end cap—refined details that match the knife's high-performance blade with visual elegance.

Handcrafted in Seki by skilled artisans, this knife reflects a blend of traditional techniques and modern steel innovation. It’s more than capable of being your go-to kitchen companion, built for cooks who appreciate precision, endurance, and timeless design. Order it today from SMKW!
