MIYABI 5000 FC-D Shotoh "4.5"

Dishwasher Safe | No

The MIYABI 5000FCD Shotoh is a precision-crafted Japanese petty knife designed for preparing fruit, vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat. Compact yet powerful, it delivers exceptional control and cutting performance for detailed kitchen tasks.

At its core is FC61 fine carbide steel, offering excellent sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. This core is encased in 48 layers of stainless steel, creating the signature Damascus pattern unique to each blade. The cutting edge is finished using the traditional Honbazuke process—a three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing technique that produces exceptional razor-like sharpness across the entire blade length.

The knife features FRIODUR ice-hardening, enhancing durability and corrosion resistance while achieving a hardness of approximately 61 HRC. Its ergonomic Pakka wood handle, accented with a steel mosaic pin and stainless steel end cap, provides a comfortable, balanced grip and helps prevent hand fatigue during extended use.

For best care, hand wash only and maintain the edge using a whetstone. Avoid glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these can prematurely dull the blade; wooden boards are recommended.
