This 6" Chef is an ample sized knife for every day needs in the kitchen. Longer and wider than a prep knife this can still do the small work such as mincing and dicing but can also take on bigger items like acorn squash, leeks and onions. Made from VG10 steel with 64 layers of Damascus surrounding the core. Each knife is a unique piece of art showing off the excellent Japanese craftsmanship at Miyabi.
