Product information
The Miyabi 5000MCD67 'black' series is a strong piece of art. German engineers and Japanese craftsmen have pulled out all the stops to create an unprecedentedly good and stylish line. One of the hardest steels is combined with beautiful black ash wood. This knife is entirely handmade in Seki, Japan, and sharpened the way Samurai swords were sharpened.
A unique handle of black ash wood
The handle of each knife in the Miyabi Black collection is made from a unique type of wood: black ash wood. The grain and color of this wood beautifully contrast with the damask pattern on the blade. The handle has a traditional D-shape for optimal ergonomics, so you can keep working without getting tired.
Exceptionally sharp and hard
The blade with a core of MicroCarbide MC66 powder steel has an impressive Rockwell hardness of 66 due to the ice-hardening process. The result: an exceptionally sharp and durable cutting edge. This core is encased by 132 layers of steel, from which a beautiful, floral damask pattern emerges. The cutting edge is symmetrically sharpened using the Honbazuke technique and is therefore not single-edged, making this knife suitable for both left- and right-handed chefs. ''Honbazuke'' means 'true Japanese cut' and this provides a katana-polished edge with an angle of 10° degrees per side.
Utility knife, the Japanese way
The Shotoh 13cm from the Miyabi black series is comparable to the European utility knife, also known as a paring knife. This knife is perfect for cutting vegetables. For anything the Gyutoh is too large for, this handy knife is ideally used.
How to maintain the Miyabi 5000MCD 67 Shotoh?
This knife is a very special product and therefore deserves to be cared for with care and attention. We advise you to wash it only by hand, maintain it well, and sharpen it with a whetstone or Horl knife sharpener. Do not use it on glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards.
Pros
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan
Damascus design with 133 layers of steel
The knife has a core of MicroCarbide MC66 powder steel surrounded by 100 layers of stainless steel. This makes the blade very hard (approx. 66 Rockwell) and keeps it razor-sharp for a long time.
