The Miyabi 5000MCD Santoku Utility Knife 180mm is a premium Japanese knife designed for food preparation in kitchens. Santoku translates to “three virtues”, referring to its ability to prepare meat, fish and vegetables with equal precision. The broad blade and ultra-sharp edge are best suited to a chopping motion, allowing for fast, controlled cutting during high-volume preparation. Handcrafted in Seki, the 180mm blade features an SG2 micro-carbide steel core protected by 100 layers of steel, creating the stunning 101-layer flower Damascus pattern synonymous with the Miyabi Birchwood 5000MCD range. The blade undergoes Miyabi’s CRYODUR four-step ice-hardening process and is hardened to 63 Rockwell, delivering exceptional sharpness, superior edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance.

The blade is finished with a traditional three-step Honbazuke hand-honed edge for precise, razor-sharp performance. The elegant birchwood handle is ergonomically shaped for comfort and balance, accented with a decorative mosaic pin, red spacers and a polished steel end cap. This makes the Miyabi 5000MCD Santoku Utility Knife ideal for commercial kitchens, cafes, restaurants, catering services, and hotels.
