Shotoh Paring Knife with 3.5" Blade and 133 Layers of Steel Miyabi 34400-091

The Miyabi Black 5000MCD is a true work of art. The blade is crafted from MC66 micro-carbide powdered steel, ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC. This results in an exceptionally sharp and long-lasting edge.

The blade is wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, creating a stunning floral Damascus pattern. The handle of the Miyabi Black is made from a unique wood—black ash. The grain and color of the black ash contrast beautifully with the Damascus blade.
