Zwilling MIYABI 5000 FCD Smooth Shotoh knife 14 cm Welded

The MIYABI 5000 FCD Shotoh knife is a fine example of precision and beauty in Japanese craftsmanship. With a 13 cm blade, it is particularly suitable for making small cuts of meat, fruit and vegetables. Its composite structure, with a FC61 carbide steel core and 48 layers of steel, creates an elegant Damascus design, known for its resistance and exceptional sharpness.

The blade is treated with a FRIODUR ice hardening process, which gives it a hardness of approximately 61 Rockwell , ensuring long life and excellent edge retention. Sharpening is completed using the traditional Japanese Honbazuke method, which guarantees a razor-sharp cut and a flawless finish.

The handle, made of pakkawood and enriched with a mosaic pin, offers a comfortable and secure grip. The shape of the handle, with hidden tang, contributes to optimal balance and precise control during use. To keep the blade in perfect condition, we recommend washing it by hand and using a wooden cutting board, avoiding hard surfaces such as glass, ceramic or stone that could dull the edge.
