Shotoh Miyabi 5000MCD knife - 13 cm

The SHOTOH knife from the MIYABI 5000MCD series is a feast for the eyes of all Japanese cuisine enthusiasts. It is perfectly suited for slicing, cleaning, and peeling vegetables and fruits. The handle of this excellent knife is made from Masur birch wood, whose texture makes each piece in the series unique. The elegant appearance is completed by the end cap and the delicate mosaic logo. Additionally, the handle is shaped like a D, ensuring perfect balance and allowing for ideal control during use. This means even the most time-consuming dishes can be prepared effortlessly. The blade of the knife is characterized not only by its beautiful, unique Damascus pattern but also by the steel from which its core is made—namely, the incredibly hard MicroCarbide MC63 steel. This core is embedded in as many as 100 layers of two types of steel. Furthermore, the CRYODUR blade is hardened by ice at a temperature of -196°C. This results in an exceptional hardness of approximately 63 on the Rockwell scale, providing the best cutting properties and unparalleled flexibility. It is also worth mentioning that the SHOTOH knife blade is hand-sharpened using the Honbazuke method—utilizing the finest natural sharpening stones and then polished on leather straps. With SHOTOH knives, you will combine eye-pleasing aesthetics with the joy of slicing and preparing dishes.
