The Miyabi Black 5000MCD is a true work of art. The blade is constructed from MC66 micro-carbide powder steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC. This results in an exceptionally sharp and durable edge. The blade is wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a beautiful floral damascus pattern. The handle of the Miyabi Black series is made of a unique wood, black ash. The grain and color of the black ash contrast with the damask of the blade. The handle is designed in a traditional “D” shape, providing optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting in the kitchen. Handmade in Seki, Japan.
