Description
MIYABI 4000FC Japanese knives invite you to come and discover traditional artisan knife craftsmanship for yourself. The combination of beauty and sharpness characterises each of the kitchen knives - also this Shotoh, with a blade length of 90 mm. With it both-sided honed blade, it is typically used for chopping, peeling and cleaning fruit and vegetables. The blade is manufactured of twice ice-hardened FC61 steel, which is characterised by its high degree of hardness and the fact that it can withstand a great deal of strain. The Katana-edge cut is reminiscent of the blades of Japanese swords and considered a visible sign of masterful knife craftsmanship. With its elegant octagonally-formed Pakka wood handle and bolster, MIYABI 4000FC is not only a stylish Japanese chef’s knife, it also lies safely and comfortably in the hand. Here, the impregnated, dimensionally-stable Pakka wooden handle is also refined by a mosaic pin. ZWILLING manufactures all MIYABI knives at its own production site in Seki, Japan. Here German engineering skill from Solingen and finest East-Asian craftsmanship come together.
