Miyabi 5000FCD 2pc set - Shotoh Utility / Gyutoh Chef
Description
Crafted with finesse garnered over years of knife craftsmanship, the Miyabi 5000FCD Knives are constructed from FC61 Fine Carbine steel then sandwiched by 48 layers of damascus steel on each side, resulting in a beautiful 'Flower Damascus' pattern.
The Miyabi 5000FCD Utility knife and Miyabi 5000FCD Gyutoh Chef Knife combine traditional Japanese sword making craftsmanship and the excellence of German engineering to bring you these extremely sharp and perfectly balanced knives.
Miaybi 5000FCD blades are formed by 49 layers of steel with the central core layer having a Rockwell hardness of approximately 61. This core is sandwiched by 48 layers of softer steels, each rolled on top of each other creating a ‘Flower Damascus’ pattern that has become synonymous with this range. The FC61 core produces a sharpness and cutting edge retention measurably superior to ordinary knife steels.
With an ice hardened blade using the unique FRIODUR process which provides the blade with optimal edge retention, flexibility, and high corrosion resistance
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.
The black Pakka Wood handle is wonderfully balanced and features a steel end cap with decorative pin and ring.
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, plastic or stone boards as these will dull the cutting edge.
