The Miyabi Black 5000MCD is a masterfully crafted Japanese knife that combines exceptional performance with striking beauty. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the blade features an ultra‑hard MC66 micro‑carbide powdered steel core that is CRYODUR® ice‑hardened to an impressive 66 HRC, delivering outstanding sharpness, durability, and edge retention.

Surrounding the core are 132 additional layers of steel, forming a stunning 133‑layer floral Damascus pattern that enhances both strength and visual appeal. Each blade is hand‑honed using the traditional three‑step Honbazuke process to achieve an ultra‑sharp edge with a precise 9.5–12° angle per side (19–24° total), ensuring smooth, effortless cutting.

The handle is crafted in a traditional Japanese D‑shape for optimal ergonomics and fatigue‑free control. Made from elegant maple wood and finished with a mosaic pin and stainless steel end cap, it provides a secure, balanced grip while beautifully contrasting with the Damascus blade.

Designed for discerning chefs and knife enthusiasts, the Miyabi Black 5000MCD is built to perform and crafted to be admired. To preserve its quality and performance, hand washing is recommended.
