For fans of Japanese cuisine, the MIYABI 5000MCD series is a feast for the eyes. An end cap as well as subtly styled mosaic pin complete the knife's elegant look. The knife's handle is made from Masur birch to give each knife a unique wood-grain pattern. The handle gives the knife reliable balance and control for effortless and precision cutting.

The blade has beautiful Damask patterning as well as a hard core of MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel enclosed within 100 layers of two different steels. The blade also undergoes manual Honbazuke honing between two rotating stones to achieve its extreme sharpness, and is then polished using a leather wheel. The CRYODUR blade is ice-hardened at -196 degrees Celsius to achieve a hardness rating of around 63 Rockwell that keeps the blade sharp and flexible. This Miyabi knife has both beauty and functionality.

Freshly baked bread is one of the best things we can imagine. The serrated edge cuts quickly through hard crusts and slices thin and cleanly, thanks to its aggressively high prongs. as well as the bread knife helps you to cut it in reliable slices.
