MIYABI 5000 MCD 5 inch Shotoh, Brown
Dishwasher Safe : No
The MIYABI 5000MCD 13 cm Shotoh is a precision Japanese paring knife designed for delicate tasks like peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits and vegetables. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife combines traditional artistry with advanced steel technology for unmatched sharpness and beauty.
Its MC63 micro-carbide powder steel core is encased in 100 layers of stainless steel, forming a stunning Damascus flower pattern that makes each blade a unique work of art. The blade is hand-honed using the traditional Honbazuke process to achieve a razor-sharp 9.5–12° edge and further strengthened by the CRYODUR ice-hardening process, reaching a Rockwell hardness of 63 for exceptional edge retention.
The Karelian Masur Birch handle, with its distinctive wood grain, provides both elegance and ergonomic comfort. Shaped in a traditional D-profile, it ensures perfect balance and precise control, even during the most detailed cutting work.

I’m a salmon and trout angler. I was happy with using this tool to pin bone pink salmon as it was able to pull two out at a time. I tried it on a fresh chinook last night though and wasn’t very impressed, I think needle nose pliers would have been more effective.
Received my carbon stainless steel wok extremely fast , customer support Natalie was extremely helpful with my questions and even provided resources to help me. 10/10, amazing site I can't believe I was hesitant at first. Will definitely be buying again from here, much better than big box stores - extremely high quality product.

MIYABI 4000 FC 9.5-Inch Gyutoh Knife – Brown Handle
The Hayami 130 arrived promptly and very sharp, one of the sharpest knives I've ever received from a vendor. It's convenient to have it razor sharp out of the box. I use petty knives a lot, just above my use of the cleaver. This knife is beautiful and extremely functional. The next petty knife will be about 100mm.
Super knife . Shipping was fast . Got them after a couple of days only to Montreal

My partner and I were so amazed by how we can already slice our fruits and vegetables with ease. We plan to collect all knife types!
It's like cutting through a cloud. Worth the money.
Perfect knife size for an all purpose kitchen knife and high quality. Light and sharp, has become my favorite knife. Customer service top notch when finding a sheath to protect and fit the knife.
