The Miyabi 5000MCD Nakiri Knife 170mm is a specialised Japanese vegetable knife designed for precision preparation in professional kitchens. With its straight-edged blade, the Nakiri is ideal for fine juliennes, brunoise and other intricate vegetable cuts. It is also highly effective for cutting through hard-skinned produce such as pumpkins and squash. Handcrafted in Seki, the 170mm blade features an SG2 micro-carbide steel core protected by 100 layers of steel, creating the stunning 101-layer flower Damascus pattern unique to the Miyabi Birchwood 5000MCD range. This premium steel construction delivers exceptional sharpness, excellent edge retention and superior durability for demanding commercial use.

The blade undergoes Miyabi’s CRYODUR four-step ice-hardening process and is hardened to 63 Rockwell, ensuring outstanding strength, corrosion resistance and long-lasting cutting performance. Finished with a traditional three-step Honbazuke hand-honed edge, the Miyabi 5000MCD Nakiri Knife provides razor-sharp precision for detailed vegetable preparation. The birchwood handle is ergonomically shaped for comfort and balance, complete with a decorative mosaic pin, red accent spacers and a polished steel end cap. This makes it ideal for catering services, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and cafeterias.
