Miyabi 5000 FCD Shotoh, 13cm blade. The photos, or petty knife, is ideal for the preparation of smaller cuts of meat and fruit, and vegetables. It has a fine carbide steel core with a hardness that gives very good cutting edge retention and initial sharpness. The core is embedded in 48 layers of steel which gives each blade its unique Damascus-design pattern. Razor-like sharpness is achieved by a three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process called Honbazuke honing. The entire length of the cutting edge can be used as there is no finger guard. For best care, wash by hand, and maintain and sharpen using whetstones. We’d recommend using a wooden chopping board as opposed to glass, ceramic, or stone boards as these will dull the cutting edge.

Firstly, looking at it, it is a beautiful knife. I expected it to be a little heavier, but decided to try it before judging. It cuts through everything flawlessly, and I can see now that I was wrong with the initial thoughts on the weight. I can cut strawberries paper thin, as well as onions and raw chicken.

Beautiful knife, extremely sharp. Currently building up a set of these knives.. L. West Chester, OH. Fri Jan 24 2020

Miyabi 5000 FCD Shotoh, 9cm blade. This Japanese photo, also known as a vegetable knife, has a hard fine carbide steel core which gives very good cutting edge retention and sharpness. It is lightweight and nimble, and suited for cutting, peeling small fruit and vegetables. The FC61 steel core of the blade is embedded in 48 outer layers of Damascus-design steel, giving each knife its unique pattern. The cutting edge is symmetrical (not a single bevel) so it’s suitable for both right and left-handed use. The edge is Honbazuke-honed – a three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process resulting in razor-like sharpness. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The Pakka wood handle seamlessly joins the half-bolster. The smooth join helps to prevent calluses from forming on the thumb and forefinger. For best care, it’s recommended to hand wash only. Maintain and sharpen on a whetstone, and using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards should be avoided as this can prematurely dull the cutting edge.

Absolutely love this knife! I have had the knife for more than 2 years now, and it still works just as great as the first day I used it.

This results in an exceptionally sharp and lasting edge.

Purchased at an open-box discount. All knives were included. Some showed some residue from possible prior use, but that washed off without issue. The knives themselves are beautiful, feel great in the hand, and cut well. However, I found that the santoku and paring knife have a curve down the spine of the blade.

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.

The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. The Cryodur blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Then, artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. This attention to detail translates into precision cutting for Miyabi Kaizen users. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta. With a wood-like texture, the comfortable handle won't slip from your hand and acts as a moisture repellant. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

Miyabi celebrates Japanese craftsmanship with Artisan. Using traditional methods and innovative techniques, these knives merge the past and present into an exceptional knife collection. The potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a Tsuchime finish. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, a homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. Fabricated with special Cocobolo Rosewood Pakkawood, the handles mirror the beauty of the blade. Sophisticated details include brass and red spacers, a mosaic pin, and a stainless steel end cap. The attractive D-shaped handle is designed to nestle comfortably in your hand for tireless cutting.

The Miyabi Black 5000MCD is a true work of art. The blade is constructed of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC. This results in an exceptionally sharp and lasting edge. The blade is wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a beautiful flower Damascus pattern. The handle of the Miyabi Black series is made from unique wood, black ash. The grain and color of the black ash contrast with the Damascus of the blade. The handle is crafted in a traditional "D" shape, providing optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting in the kitchen. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

I purchased the Miyabi Black steel in order to have a steel that was hard enough to sharpen and hone the Miyabi Black series of knives. I am very happy with the performance of this steel, and it is a work of art in and of itself. Gorgeous workmanship.. Eyahna. Springfield, Oregon. Tue Aug 13 2019
