Shotoh Miyabi 5000MCD knife - 9 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 exceptional knife is made from Masur birch wood, whose texture makes each piece in the series unique. The noble appearance is complemented by a cap at the end and a delicate, mosaic logo. Additionally, the handle is shaped like the letter D, ensuring perfect balance and allowing for precise control during use. Thanks to this, even the most time-consuming dishes can be prepared effortlessly. The blade features not only a beautiful, unique Damascus pattern but also the core steel—an incredibly hard MicroCarbide MC63 steel. This core is embedded in 100 layers of two types of steel. Moreover, the CRYODUR blade is hardened by freezing in -196°C temperatures. This results in an exceptional hardness of about 63 HRC, providing excellent cutting properties and unparalleled flexibility. It is also worth noting that the SHOTOH blade is hand-sharpened using the Honbazuke method—using the finest natural sharpening stones and then polished on leather strops. With SHOTOH knives, you will combine stunning aesthetics with the pleasure of slicing and preparing dishes. **SPECIAL FEATURES** - MicroCarbide MC63 steel core embedded in 100 layers of steel—for unmatched hardness of approx. 63 HRC and excellent cutting properties - Cryogenic hardened CRYODUR blade—exceptionally sharp, flexible, and corrosion-resistant - Original Japanese blade profile - Double-sided Honbazuke grind ensuring outstanding sharpness - Masur birch wood handle in D-shape for optimal balance, control, and effortless work Manufacturer information
