Description
MIYABI Birchwood 5000MCD 9-inch Sujihiki is a Japanese slicing knife with a hand-forged blade made of 101 layers of steel, ideal for cutting meat and fish or for slicing a roast. The SG2 micro-carbide MC63 powder steel blade core is embedded in layers of two different kinds of steel, creating an extremely hard blade with a striking floral Damascus pattern. CRYODUR ice-hardened to Rockwell 63, the blade delivers exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The blade is hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process: sharpened twice on rotating stones and then polished on a leather wheel, resulting in a scalpel-like 9.5 to 12 degree edge. The ergonomic handle is crafted from premium Masur birchwood, which blends perfectly with the high-quality steel blade. Hand wash only. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
