Description
MIYABI HIBANA 800DP 3.5-Inch Shotoh combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern engineering for exceptional cutting performance. The blade features a beautiful 49-layer Spark Damascus pattern, with a core of FC61 steel wrapped in 48 alternating layers of stainless steel that both strengthens and protects the core for long-lasting edge retention, durability, and sharpness. FRIODURx2 hardening improves the microstructure of the steel for enhanced cutting performance, corrosion resistance, and durability, with the blade hand-sharpened using the three-step Honbazuke process. The shotoh is ideal for cleaning, peeling, and cutting small fruits and vegetables, as well as chopping fresh herbs, garlic, and onions. The triple-riveted handle features a curved, ergonomic bolster for comfort using the pinch grip, accented by beautiful brass colour pin and spacers that add weight for sturdiness in hand and maneuverability at the tip. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
