Description
MIYABI BIRCHWOOD 5000MCD 7-inch Santoku, Brown is a work of culinary art where both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, handcrafted in Seki, Japan. The potent SG2 / MC63 micro-carbide powder steel core at 63 HRC is protected by 100 layers of steel, forming a breathtaking 101-layer Flower Damascus pattern unique to each knife. MIYABI's innovative CRYODUR ice-hardening process locks in long-lasting sharpness, while the Flower Damascus pattern provides added durability beneath its beautiful exterior. The authentic thin Japanese blade profile features a rounded spine and heel, hand-honed using the traditional three-step Honbazuke process to a precise 9.5 to 12 degree katana edge for scalpel-like precision. Complementing the blade is an equally striking traditional Japanese D-shaped handle made of Karelian (Masur) Birch, a prized material also known as the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg, exquisite and ergonomic for a knife that feels as good as it looks. Hand wash only.
