Miyabi Shotoh

The Japanese Shotoh knife from the Miyabi 5000MCD 67 series will be an elegant addition to your kitchen. It has a 13 cm long blade, a characteristic, layered pattern on the amphibians, individual for each blade, and a unique handle design. A polished D-profile black ash wooden handle completes this beautiful blade. The Shotoh knife is perfect for cutting and peeling fruit and vegetables. The blade of this fire-hardened and ice-hardened (CRYODUR ® ) knife is composed of 132 thin layers of stainless steel with higher elasticity. They protect the core made of extraordinary steel (MicroCarbide MC66). During production, the blade is subjected to a special hardening process to ensure a hardness of 66 HRC (Rockwell scale), while maintaining the knife with appropriate flexibility and a durable, sharp edge at the highest level. This sharp edge is achieved thanks to the Honbazuke technique, a traditional Japanese process in which both sides of the blade are sharpened and polished in three different ways using a hand technique, natural sharpening stones and leather polishing belts. Comfort and pleasant knife work are guaranteed by the D-shaped grip made of beautiful black ash, finished with a steel head. Decorative mosaic pins emphasize the Far Eastern character of this small masterpiece of applied art. To keep your knife in top shape, you need to be careful. Only hand washing and sharpening on a whetstone are recommended. Avoid using glass, ceramic and stone cutting boards.
