Mine weighs 6.3 oz. (not "0.6" pounds as indicated in the specs). **Q: Is this a right handed knife?** A: No. It's ambidextrous. 1) the handle isn't right-handed like some Shun knives w/ the D-shaped handle. 2) the blade is taped the same on both sides, as is the blade edge--i.e., as best as I can determine, not having the right tools available to me these days. No one side of the blade is flat or concave. 3) Also, the is thin compared to western-style chef's knives. ## Frequently Bought Together - Miyabi Koh 8-inch Chef's Knife, Stainless Steel - Miyabi Koh 3.5-inch Paring Knife - Miyabi Koh 5.5-inch Prep Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/66041468-miyabi-koh-8-inch-chefs-knife-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/66041468-miyabi-koh-8-inch-chefs-knife-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
