Amazon.com Product Description

Following in the tradition of master craftsmen who produced the famously sharp and incredibly beautiful Japanese swords, MIYABI knives from J.A. Henckels feature authentic Japanese blade designs, extraordinary sharpness, and perfect balance. They're endorsed by Rokusaburo Michiba, the legendary Iron Chef, who understands the importance of a sharp knife for preserving the taste and texture of delicate foods. This 7-inch Santoku knife from the MIYABI 7000MC series features a broad, symmetric blade that's ideal for preparing meat, fish, and vegetables

MIYABI 7000MC knives are constructed with a MicroCarbide core that features a uniform structure that has a 66 Rockwell hardness rating and is capable of holding a finer edge longer than traditional steel compounds. This three-layered clad construction provides the optimal balance of strength with corrosion and breakage resistance. The blade is finished using the traditional Japanese Honbazuke honing treatment that provides a lasting scalpel-like sharpening and 19-degree cutting edge.

The traditional D-shaped handle offers excellent finger-tip control and is made from stainless steel and micarta--a multi-layered synthetic compound of linen and synthetic resins. Wash the knife under running water with a mild soap, and thoroughly dry before storing in a dry place. To avoid corrosion and damage, it should not be cleaned in a dishwasher. MIYABI 7000MC knives should be professionally sharpened or sharpened at home with a wet stone due to extreme hardness at 60 Rockwell. It's backed by a lifetime warranty. Made in Japan.
