Miyabi 5000 FCD Santoku, 18cm blade length. This Japanese santoku has a hard fine carbide steel core for very good cutting edge retention and sharpness. Santoku translates as "Three Virtues", these being meat, fish, and vegetables. The flat cutting edge lends itself to a chopping motion rather than the rocking cutting movement of European chef's knives. The blade core is surrounded by 48 outer layers of steel which make up the unique Damascus-design pattern on the blade. The cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed and symmetrical (not single bevel), so can be used by those both right and left-handed. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The handle and half-bolster join seamlessly for comfortable use. The smooth surface helps to prevent the formation of calluses on the thumb and forefinger. Hand wash only for the best care and maintain and sharpen using a whetstone. We’d recommend using a wooden chopping board rather than glass, ceramic, or stone boards as these will dull the cutting edge.

This is my first santoku knife and first miyabi brand knife but man did it impress! It is super sharp out of the box. Its lightweight but making cutting a breeze!. Eryka. Fri, 16 Oct 2020

Beautiful knife hits well above its price point. I have been owning and using Japanese knives in professional kitchens for the better part of 3 decades and this knife performs as well or better than knives from misono, Masahiro and others and costs far less. It’s also much more user friendly, sharpened on both sides, stainless, and a more traditional shape- if that works for you. At 109 bucks it’s a steal. Get one!. Sean Conroy. Colorado Springs.

Twin Signature knives are precision stamped from a single piece of German steel, resulting in lighter weight knives that do not compromise sharpness. The knives are made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years.

To ensure an ideal cutting angle, the laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp and is honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans. The three-rivet handle embedded with the Zwilling J.A.
