Miyabi 5000FCD blades are formed by 49 layers of steel with a Rockwell hardness of approximately 61. The black Pakka Wood handle is wonderfully balanced and features a steel end cap with decorative pin and ring. 48 layers of steel surrounding the core create the Damascus-design FRIODUR ice-hardened for extreme hardness

Features:

• The blade core, constructed from FC61 Fine Carbide steel holds its sharp edge and is incredibly durable, surrounded by 48 layers of Damask steel
• FRIODUR ice hardened to a 61 Rockwell hardness ensures extreme hardness, corrosion resistance and material elasticity of the knives
• Sleek floral damask pattern on blade is a result of the special blade treatment which alters the surface structure of each layer, giving each blade its individual floral damask pattern
• Traditional Japanese Honbazuke v-edge honing gives the 19° symmetrical blade incomparable sharpness
• Ergonomic black Pakka Wood handle is comfortable to hold, balanced with a steel end cap and decorative pin, completing the sophisticated design
• Handcrafted in Seki, Japan

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
