Description
MIYABI KAIZEN II 5000FCD 7-inch Santoku, Black is a masterpiece of traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with modern engineering, handcrafted in Seki, Japan. The FC61 fine carbide steel core at 60-62 HRC is surrounded by 48 outer layers of steel forming a unique Damascus-design pattern on the blade, FRIODUR ice-hardened for extreme hardness and superior corrosion resistance. The cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed and symmetrical for use by both right and left-handed cooks, with no finger guard so the full length of the cutting edge can be used. Santoku translates as "Three Virtues" for meat, fish, and vegetables, with a flat cutting edge that lends itself to a chopping motion for precise, effortless prep. The comfortable D-shaped black Pakka wood handle joins seamlessly with the half-bolster, accented by a steel mosaic pin and handle end cap, with a smooth surface that helps prevent calluses on the thumb and forefinger. Hand wash only; maintain and sharpen using a whetstone. Use a wooden chopping board to preserve the cutting edge.
