Zwilling MIYABI 5000 FCD Smooth Shotoh knife 14 cm Welded

The MIYABI 5000 FCD Shotoh knife is a refined example of precision and beauty in Japanese craftsmanship. With a 13 cm blade, it is particularly suitable for small cuts of meat, fruit, and vegetables. Its composite construction, with a FC61 carbide steel core and 48 layers of steel, creates an elegant Damascus design, renowned for its durability 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 edge and a flawless finish.

The handle, crafted from pakkawood and embellished with a mosaic pin, offers a comfortable and secure grip. The shape of the handle, with a hidden tang, contributes to optimal balance and precise control during use. To keep the blade in tip-top condition, we recommend hand washing it and using a wooden cutting board, avoiding hard surfaces like glass, ceramic, or stone, which could dull the edge.
