Product Description

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 small-sized Shotoh knife from the MIYABI 7000D series is ideal for cleaning, peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables.

MIYABI 7000D knives are constructed with 32 layers of steel wrapping a core of CMV60 stainless steel that's wrapped in a stunning Dsamask wave pattern. The special CMV60 steel has an incredibly resilient core, with cobalt for corrosion resistance, molybdenum to enhance hardness, and vanadium to help bond the materials while allowing the blade to hold its sharpness. The symmetric 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 7000D 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.

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels MIYABI 7000D Shotoh Small Utility Knife (Kitchen)

Only one thing keeps me from giving it five stars: you can't put it in the dishwasher. But as a knife, it's fantastic.
