Description
The santoku – a Japanese term meaning “three virtues” or “three blessings” – excels at all everyday cutting tasks. Expertly mince garlic, slice meat and fish, and finely cut vegetables with this superbly versatile knife.
The Miyabi 6000MCT series is a stunning marriage between outstanding aesthetics and unmatched craftsmanship. The sublime appearance of both the blade and the handle is complimented by the powerful cutting performance of the MC63 micro-carbide powder steel core blade. The core is protected by two layers of stainless steel which feature the unmistakable Tsuchime look (meaning ‘hammered’ in Japanese). The ergonomic D-shape handle is made from Cocobolo pakkawood, for both a beautiful dark red colour and a supremely comfortable grip.
Miyabi 6000MCT knives are tempered using the innovative ice-hardening process known as CRYODUR. This proprietary process results in a masterwork blade that has a hardness rating of Rockwell 63, ensuring an unparalleled edge and long-lasting sharpness.

Care Instructions:
Do not use this knife to cut through bones or frozen foods as this will damage the edge and potentially chip the blade.
Do not wash in dishwasher, as this may cause corrosion of the blades. To clean, run under hot water with a small amount of detergent and dry thoroughly.
Store in a dry, moisture-free place to avoid rusting or discolouration. If the knives are not used for an extended period of time, wrap them in a dry cloth or newspaper and store them in a dry place; the hygroscopic paper will keep the blades dry and the oil from the printing ink prevent corrosion. Miyabi knives should only be sharpened with a professional sharpening stone due to the extremely hard steel and the fine Honbazuke honing of the knives.
