Description
MIYABI Birchwood 5000MCD 6.5-inch Chutoh is a medium-sized Japanese knife ideal for slicing and cutting meat or fish with full control and precision. The thin, stable 16 cm blade has convinced professional chefs from around the world. The SG2 micro-carbide MC63 powder steel core is surrounded by 100 layers of two different hardnesses of steel, creating a 101-layer Flower Damascus design with a katana edge. CRYODUR ice-hardened at -196 degrees Celsius to a hardness of approximately Rockwell 63, the blade delivers extreme sharpness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The blade is hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process: sharpened twice between rotating stones and then polished on a leather wheel, resulting in a scalpel-like 9.5 to 12 degree edge. The D-shaped handle is crafted from premium Masur birchwood, whose gentle grain contrasts beautifully with the floral Damascus pattern of the blade. Recesses in the stainless steel and fine red lines add stylish decorative elements. Hand wash only. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
