Description
MIYABI BIRCHWOOD 5000MCD 7-inch Nakiri is a top-of-the-line work of culinary art, handcrafted in Seki, Japan, where the most precious materials come together in a knife of extraordinary beauty and performance. The potent SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core at 63 HRC is protected by 100 layers of steel, creating a breathtaking 101-layer Flower Damascus pattern with a katana edge, each knife unique in its individual design. MIYABI's innovative CRYODUR ice-hardening process locks in long-lasting sharpness, while the blade is hand-sharpened using the traditional Honbazuke method to a precise 9.5 to 12 degree angle for scalpel-like precision. The exquisite Karelian (Masur) Birch handle in a traditional D-shape, finished with a mosaic pin and end cap, is a prized material so rare it is the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Designed specifically for cutting vegetables with effortless precision.
