Shotoh Paring Knife with 5" Blade and 133 Layers of Steel Miyabi 34400-131

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 unique black ash wood. The grain and deep color of the black ash contrast beautifully with the Damascus blade.

The handle is shaped in the traditional "D" form, offering optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting in the kitchen. Handmade in Seki, Japan.
