Description
MIYABI BIRCHWOOD 5000MCD 5.5-Inch Shotoh is a top-of-the-line work of culinary art, where both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials. The potent SG2 (MC63) micro-carbide powder steel core is protected by 100 layers of steel, forming a stunning 101-layer Flower Damascus pattern unique to every knife. MIYABI's innovative CRYODUR ice-hardening process locks in long-lasting sharpness at 63 HRC, while the scalpel-like blade is hand-sharpened using the traditional Honbazuke method to a precise 9.5 to 12 degree angle. The striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle, a prized material also used in Faberge eggs, is crafted in a traditional D-shape and finished with a mosaic pin and end cap for an exquisite, ergonomic feel. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
