Miyabi 5000MCD 13cm CRYODUR blade japanese Utility knife

This Miyabi Universal knife is a product of Japanese cutlery tradition. Its sharpness and ease of use will stand the test of time.

The blade is made of top-grade stainless steel, with a core enriched with MC63 microcarbides for incredible strength. What's more, the CRYODUR hardening process enhances the blade's already extreme hardness. In fact, the blade has undergone intense cooling, down to -196°C. As a result, it will achieve a strength of around 63 HRC on the Rockwell scale.

What's more, the damascus blade has benefited from a very special creation process, giving it even greater strength and a totally unique visual appearance. The process consists in creating a steel plate mixing soft and hard steel, which are then welded together. It is this technique that creates the waves on the blade.

The blade also features a typically Japanese profile: it has been designed to offer a 19° cutting edge, perfect for cutting all your foods.

The handle of this knife is also noteworthy: made of birch wood with stainless steel ends, it will ensure undeniable comfort of use. Indeed, birch wood is known to be very light, and the "D" shape of the handle will create a perfect balance of the whole knife. This gives you absolute control for all your cutting.

Finally, the sleek, authentic style of this Japanese knife will appeal to all lovers of fine blades. Its damascened blade, red and gold edging and light birch handle, topped by a rivet with a mosaic logo attesting to the knife's authenticity, make for a highly successful design.
