Zwilling MIYABI 5000 FCD Gyutoh Knife 24 cm Welded

MIYABI gets even closer to perfection with Kaizen II (Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better”). The Kaizen II collection boasts Japanese craftsmanship combined with the best hardening technology and a beautiful modern design. The core, forged from ultra-strong FC61 super steel, is protected by an incredible 48 layers of stainless steel. Furthermore, Miyabi Kaizen II knives are as beautiful as they are functional. The beautiful damask floral pattern of the blade is darkened by acid immersion. Ice-hardened FRIODUR® double blade for improved corrosion resistance and exceptional durability. Craftsmen sharpen the blades by hand using the venerable four-step Honbazuke method. This obsessive attention to detail gives life to a true work of art, that is, the ultimate cutting precision. The blade is balanced thanks to a “D” handle made of pakkawood. Comfortable to hold, the classic Japanese "D" shaped handle offers a comfortable grip for effortless cutting operations. This exceptional handle pairs perfectly with the caliber of the blade. Handmade in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for producing the highest quality cutlery.
