Miyabi 6000 MCT 18cm Santoku Brown Fine Edge (34074-181-0)

The Miyabi 6000 MCT 18cm Santoku Brown Fine Edge is a traditional Japanese knife made from SG2 micro-carbide powder steel. The authentic thin Japanese blade profile ensures that the knife is versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks, while the hand-honed edge is sharpened to 9.5 to 12 degrees for precision cutting.

The CRYODUR blade is ice-hardened to Rockwell 63 and has a katana edge, while the D-shaped Cocobolo pakkawood handle with a hammered "Tsuchime" finish provides excellent grip and balance. Hand wash only and handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife will last for generations if cared for properly.

Thanks to the ultra-sharp blade, this knife excels in chopping and dicing tasks, handling fruits, tougher vegetables, and larger cuts of meat or fish with complete ease and precision.

To ensure the knife stays in the best shape possible, it should be sharpened regularly and cleaned only with warm water and a light detergent before being left to fully dry between each use.

It shouldn't be used in the dishwasher, submerged in water, or cleaned with a hard or rough sponge that could cause damage to the blade.

This knife would make the perfect gift for someone who loves to cook, or even just a treat for yourself if your current knives are starting to look a bit worn, and you'd like to invest in professional-quality knives that you know will last.
