The MIYABI 5000MCD Chutoh is the perfect medium-sized knife for slicing meat and fish with precision and control. Its 16 cm thin yet stable blade ensures effortless cutting, making it a trusted tool among professional chefs worldwide. At the core of the blade lies Micro Carbide MC63 powder steel, surrounded by 100 layers of steel with varying hardness. Ice-hardened using the CRYODUR process at -196°C, it achieves a remarkable hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and durability. The Honbazuke honing technique, which involves sharpening the blade between rotating stones and polishing it on a leather wheel, results in an exceptionally fine, razor-sharp edge. The handle, crafted from exquisite Masur birch, features a traditional D-shape for comfort and balance. Its natural wood grain beautifully contrasts with the floral Damascus pattern of the blade, while stainless steel accents and fine red lines add a touch of sophistication. The MIYABI Chutoh is an exquisite blend of extreme sharpness, elegance, and functionality.
