Miyabi 5000 MCD 67 Santoku 14cm

The finely honed 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 from ultra-premium steel and are unmatched in sharpness. Exquisite Japanese craftsmanship merges with German engineering to create the ultimate kitchen knives. The blades are made from MC66 steel with micro-carbide powder, hardened to an impressive value of 66 on the Rockwell hardness scale. The result is an exceptionally sharp and durable blade that is also highly corrosion-resistant. The authentic, thin Japanese profile blades are wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, creating a beautiful flower damask pattern. Sharpening is done using the traditional three-step Honbazuke method. The handle of the Miyabi Black series is made from precious Bigleaf maple wood and dyed with black ash. The grain and color of the black ash provide a beautiful contrast to the damask pattern of the blade. The handle is crafted in a traditional "D" shape, with a rounded back and bolster that offers optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
