Miyabi 5000 FCD - Shotoh / Paring Knife
Miyabi 5000FCD blades are formed by 49 layers of steel with a Rockwell hardness of approximately 61. The black Pakka Wood handle is wonderfully balanced and features a steel end cap with decorative pin and ring. The Miyabi brand, with its statement “The Beauty of Sharpness”, reflects values that are particularly highly prized in Japanese culture. The brand is synonymous with purity, grace and elegance. Miyabi knives combine beauty and exceptional sharpness. They are thus manufactured in the tradition of the ancient masters, who once produced the finest Japanese swords. Miyabi knives are authentic. They are designed by the Japanese and manufactured in ZWILLING’s own factories in Japan.
MIYABI 5000 FCD Shotoh, 11cm blade.
The shotoh, which roughly translates as “little knife”, is suited for preparing fruit, vegetables and smaller cuts of meat.
It has a blade core of fine carbide steel for very good initial sharpness and cutting edge retention. This FC61 core is embedded in 48 layers of steel which make up the unique Damascus-design pattern on the blade.
The cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed which is a three-stage grinding, sharpening and polishing process that results in razor-like sharpness. The whole length of the cutting edge can be used as there is no finger guard.
The smooth join between handle and bolster helps to prevent calluses forming on thumb and forefinger.
To look after your knife in the best way, hand wash only and maintain and sharpen using a whetstone. Using glass, ceramic or stone cutting boards should be avoided as this can prematurely dull the cutting edge, so we’d recommend cutting on a wooden board.
Honbazuke honed symmetrical edge for exceptional sharpness, knife angle around 10 degrees per side
Three-part traditional construction
FRIODUR® ice-hardened blade for exceptional durability of the cutting edge and corrosion resistance.
Ergonomic Pakka wood handle for perfect balance, outstanding comfort and fatigue-free cutting, with concealed tang
Half bolster which provides a seamless transition between the handle and blade.
Hand wash only
Blade core made of FC61 steel embedded in 48 layers of steel, Made in Seki, Japan
