Miyabi’s SHOTOH knife is a small but fine cutting tool that is unique. With a length of 13 cm, this extra thin and sturdy blade is ideal when cutting, peeling or cleaning fruit or vegetables. The unique Honbazuke symmetrical sharpening of the blade gives it a unique character. This is enhanced by the typically Japanese blade profile, characterised by a symmetrical cutting edge with an angle of 19 degrees. The core of the blade is made of MC63 micro-carbon powder steel, wrapped in 100 layers of two different types of stainless steel, which create the typical damascened floral pattern on the blade. It is this design that makes the knife a truly unique work of art. The CRYODUR® blade has been hardened at -196 degrees Celsius in a specially developed process to achieve a remarkable hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell, making the knife flexible and robust and guaranteeing excellent edge retention. The Masur birch handle in a delicate light brown colour offers a pleasant contrast to the brightness of the steel. The grain and structure are unique on each knife, and each piece becomes an eye-catching addition to the kitchen. The handle has a traditional D shape and is well balanced, providing excellent control while working. The MIYABI 5000MCD series SHOTOH knife is the perfect tool for the best cutting jobs.
