Crafted in Seki, Japan - a city known for its legendary bladesmithing, Miyabi's Shotoh Paring Knife is a feast for the eyes. It is ideal for cutting, cleaning and peeling fruit and vegetables. The handle is made from Masur birch to give the knife a unique wood-grain pattern. An end cap and subtly styled mosaic pin complete its elegant look. The handle is D-shaped to give the knife perfect balance and control for effortless and precision cutting.

The blade has beautiful Damask patterning and a hard core of MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel enclosed within 100 layers of two different steels. The CRYODUR® blade is ice-hardened at -196 degrees Celsius to achieve a hardness rating of around 63 Rockwell that keeps the blade sharp and flexible. The blade also undergoes manual Honbazuke honing between two rotating stones to achieve its extreme sharpness, and is then polished using a leather wheel. About Miyabi
