The Nakiri knife from MIYABI from the 5000FCD series turns even simple kitchen activities such as peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables into an optical experience. The 17 cm long blade, with a core is made of FC61 hard steel, is covered with 48 layers of stainless steel. This gives the blade its unique Damask pattern. During production, FRIODUR blades are additionally refined with special ice-hardening. This makes it extremely corrosion-proof and durable. At the same time, the blade is particularly thin - making it ideal for cutting fine slices of cucumber or tomatoes, for example. This Japanese vegetable knife combines incredible sharpness with aesthetic design and Far Eastern elegance. A knife that will delight collectors in particular. Because the Damask pattern on the blade is unique – no two knives are alike.

Features:

• The core of the SG2 super-steel is protected by a 101-layer stunning flower Damascus pattern
• The CRYODUR® blade undergoes a four-step ice hardening process which maximises the properties of the steel
• Traditional 3-step Honbazuke hand-honed edge with a 19° symmetrical blade

Care Instructions:

• Do not wash in dishwasher, as this may cause corrosion of the blades
• To clean, run under hot water with a small amount of detergent and dry thoroughly
• Store in a dry, moisture-free place to avoid rusting or discolouration
• If the knives are not used for an extended period of time, wrap them in a dry cloth or newspaper and store them in a dry place; the hygroscopic paper will keep the blades dry and the oil from the printing ink prevent corrosion
• Select the correct knife for the task to ensure you will get the best cutting results and you are also easy on the blades
• Miyabi knives should only be sharpened with a professional sharpening stone due to the extremely hard steel and the fine Honbazuke honing of the knives
