Miyabi 5000MCD Santoku knife - 18 cm

The noble SANTOKU knife from the MIYABI 5000MCD series is a reflection of the finest Japanese craftsmanship and is based on traditional Far Eastern aesthetics. The delicate damascene pattern alludes to legendary swords from Japanese tales, which is an apt comparison given the exceptional sharpness of these knives. The blade, composed of 100 layers of steel encasing a core made from special MicroCarbide MC63 steel, and treated with the CRYODUR method—quenching at -196°C—make these extraordinary tools durable and resistant to corrosion. The SANTOKU knife is an aesthetic masterpiece, created through the perfect synergy of cutting-edge tools and traditional methods. Using the classic Japanese Honbazuke grind, achieved by hand-sharpening on natural stones, results in an unparalleled level of sharpness. From the blade to the handle, the SANTOKU is unique: the natural texture of the Masur birch wood handle gives the tool an exceptional appearance. The sanded wood, shaped into the traditional D-shaped profile of Japanese knives, ensures precision and effortless slicing without fatigue. Stylish details, such as the delicate mosaic logo of the line, complete the design. The knife’s simple appearance further emphasizes its functionality: with the Miyabi SANTOKU, even working with fish, meat, or heavier vegetables becomes light and enjoyable.
