MIYABI 5000 MCD 67 Santoku 14cm

The fine-bladed Santoku - Japanese for three virtues - is characterized by three cutting techniques. With this Asian all-rounder, you can chop garlic, slice cucumbers and dice onions. The MIYABI Black 5000MCD series is a true work of art. The blades in this series are made of ultra-premium steel and are unsurpassed in their sharpness. Exquisite Japanese craftsmanship merges with German engineering to create the ultimate kitchen knives. The blades are made from MC66 steel with microcarbide powder, hardened to an impressive 66 on the Rockwell hardness scale. The result is an exceptionally sharp and durable blade that is also highly resistant to corrosion. The authentic, thin Japanese profile blades are coated with 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a beautiful floral damask pattern. Sharpening is done using the traditional three-step Honbazuke method. The handle of the Miyabi Black series is made from the valuable Bigleaf maple wood and colored with black ash. The grain and color of the black ash forms a beautiful contrast to the damascus pattern of the blade. The handle is made in a traditional D-shape, with a rounded back and heel that offers optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting. Handmade in Seki, Japan.
