Japanese artistry meets German precision with MIYABI kitchen knives. MIYABI combines the unique characteristics of samurai swords: exceptional sharpness, tradition, craftsmanship and high performance with modern design to enrich the plate and ultimately delight the palate.
The 5000MCD series by MIYABI embodies the beauty and sharpness of Japanese knives. Each knife is a showpiece incorporating a unique 101-layer flower Damascus design. The nakiri knife has a flat profile and sharp edge to minimise the surface area of vegetables that it touches, helping to preserve flavour and colour. Great for cutting dense, hard-skinned vegetables such as squash, potatoes and root vegetables, as well as some fruits.
The blade is honed on both sides using the Honbazuke technique to create an ultra-sharp finish. Every blade is honed by hand at a razor-sharp angle of 9.5° to 12°. The traditional D-shaped handle made from masur birch wood makes for an evenly balanced knife, making it easy for the user to stay in control and effortlessly cut up food. A prized material for knife handles, masur or Karelian birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, the birch handle has an elegant end cap to add a finishing touch to the design.
