Description
MIYABI ARTISAN 6000MCT 3.5-Inch Shotoh celebrates Japanese craftsmanship by merging traditional methods with innovative techniques. The potent SG2 (MC63) micro-carbide powder steel core is protected by two layers of steel and finished with a distinctive hand-hammered Tsuchime finish that helps prevent food from sticking. CRYODUR ice-hardened to 63 HRC, the blade is hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process to a precise 9.5 to 12 degree edge, finished with a true katana edge as a homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. The D-shaped Cocobolo Rosewood Pakka wood handle with brass and red spacers, a mosaic pin, and a stainless steel end cap mirrors the beauty of the blade and nestles comfortably in the hand for tireless cutting. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
