Description
MIYABI Artisan 6000MCT 9.5-inch Sujihiki is a long, pointed carving knife ideal for cutting meat and fish with exceptional precision. The MC63 micro-carbide powder steel blade core is sandwiched between two layers of steel and finished with a hand-hammered Tsuchime finish for an authentic Japanese aesthetic. A number of specially developed processes, including CRYODUR ice hardening at -196°C, give the blade its exceptional hardness of Rockwell 63. The double-edged blade is honed by hand using the three-step Honbazuke technique to a razor-sharp 9.5 to 12 degree edge. The slightly curved, swan-neck D-shaped handle is crafted from cocobolo pakkawood, fitting the hand comfortably and allowing cutting at a variety of angles. The handle's internal weight system ensures equal ease across a wide variety of cutting techniques. Hand wash only. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
