Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, renowned for its rich heritage in bladesmithing, this knife combines advanced materials with traditional techniques to deliver exceptional performance. At the heart of the knife is the blade, meticulously crafted from MC66 MicroCarbide steel. This high-performance steel undergoes Miyabi's ice-hardening process, achieving an impressive Rockwell hardness of 66 HRC. The result is an exceptionally sharp edge that retains its sharpness through extended use. The blade boasts a stunning floral damascus pattern, created by layering 133 layers of steel. This intricate pattern not only enhances the knife's durability but also adds to its aesthetic appeal. The handle, made from black ash wood, complements the damascus blade with its distinctive grain and color variations. The traditional 'D' shape of the handle ensures ergonomic comfort, providing optimal control and reducing fatigue during prolonged use in the kitchen. To achieve its razor-sharp edge, the blade is sharpened using Miyabi's traditional three-step Honbazuke method. This meticulous process, performed by skilled artisans, results in a blade that is not only sharp but also precise, making it ideal for a variety of cutting tasks in the kitchen, particularly for slicing, dicing, and mincing. Designed for discerning chefs and culinary enthusiasts alike, the Miyabi BLACK 5000MCD67 5.5' Santoku Knife is more than just a tool—it is a work of art that embodies the fusion of Japanese tradition and cutting-edge technology, delivering unmatched performance and elegance in every slice.
