Description
MIYABI Birchwood 5000MCD 6.5-inch Bunka is a versatile Japanese chef's knife that blends centuries of artisan tradition with modern engineering. The distinctive K-tip (reverse tanto) blade profile excels at precision slicing, dicing and chopping of vegetables, fish and meat. The blade is forged from premium SG2 micro-carbide MC63 powder steel, clad in 100 layers of stainless steel with a striking Damascus floral pattern, adding both strength and aesthetic appeal. CRYODUR ice-hardened to approximately 62 to 63 HRC, the blade delivers outstanding sharpness, edge retention and durability. Hand-honed using the traditional three-step Honbazuke method to a razor-sharp katana edge at 9.5 to 12 degrees. The ergonomic D-shaped handle is crafted from premium Karelian (Masur) birchwood, prized for its beautiful rippled grain and comfortable feel. A mosaic pin and decorative stainless steel bolster complete the handle, lending both style and balance. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with German engineering expertise from Solingen. Hand wash only.
