Description
The fine edge santoku - Japanese for "three virtues" - excels at three cutting techniques. Expertly mince garlic, slice cucumber, and dice onions with this Asian all-rounder.
The MIYABI Black 5000MCD series is a true work of art. This series boasts blades of ultra-premium steel for unsurpassed sharpness. Exquisite Japanese craftsmanship merges with expert German engineering for the ultimate kitchen knives. The blades are constructed of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 on the Rockwell hardness scale. This results in an exceptionally sharp and long-lasting edge that is highly corrosion resistant. The authentic, thin, Japanese profile blades are wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a gorgeous flower Damascus pattern. Sharpening is done using the traditional, three-step Honbazuke method.
The handle of the Miyabi Black series is made from the prized Bigleaf maple and dyed a black ash color. The grain and color of the black ash contrasts beautifully with the Damascus pattern of the blade. The handle is crafted in a traditional "D" shape, with a rounded spine and heel, providing optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

Exceptional looking and performing knife. The 7" Santoku is perfect for all your jobs in the kitchen. Sharper than a chef's knife, this knife cuts, chops, minces and dices like no other knife I've owned. The FC66 steel is outstanding. Nice and hard for easy sharpening and great blade retention, has 132 layers of steel protecting the inner core and boasts a unique Damascus floral pattern. The maple handle dyed black ash, is a wonderful contrast to the blade, and adds to it's unique features. This knife has easily become my favorite tool in the kitchen, and would recommend this to anyone serious about perfecting their knife skills.

almost too beautiful to useThis is the most gorgeous knife Ive ever seen. The Miyabi Black collection stands apart from all others. Starting with the handle the black ash wood is full of grain and whorls making each one a truly individual piece. The 133 layer damascus styling on the blade is truly amazing. The watermarking on the edge is a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship harkening back to the traditional Katana blades of the past. The blade is sharpened in the traditional Hombazuke method giving it a razor edge. It holds that edge for a long time and is very easy to maintain. The Santoku shape has a nice straight edge perfect for thin slices and quick chopping.

Superb knife. I am thrilled.This knife is worth every penny. The cutting ability is a dream, it is comfortable to hold in my smaller hands, and the beauty of the knife is exquisite. Everything about the knife screams top quality. I could not be happier. I also purchase the Miyabi Black honing steel in order to keep the very hard steel of this knife sharp at all times.

Most Used Tool for the Family ChefI have been a fan of Miyabi for years, and have very much enjoyed knives of the Kaizen II and Birchwood SG2 Lines. I was not sure that the price premium for the Black line would be a good value; however, it certainly is. This knife is so comfortable in the hand with perfectly manicured transitions, great balance, and the matte-finish Damascus steel resists slippage, even when wet. Obviously, this knife is extremely sharp, and been holding a great edge so far. Miyabi did it again, I truly enjoy this knife!

I can't believe that you can actually use something everyday that looks this beautiful. What an absolute piece of art!
The blade is gorgeous with 133 layers and an edge that can cut the thinnest slices imaginable yet feels light in the hand and has a perfect balance.
The Black Ash handle is not only stunning but feels great in both a right handed as well as a left handed cook.

This is a one of a kind knife. Made in Seki Japan, boasts 133 layers of damascus in a floral design pattern. The MC66 steel, has a Rockwell of 66 which keeps the edge nice and sharp, and is extremely easy to resharpen. The D shaped black ash handle adds to the authentic Japanese design and keeps with tradition.
The 5.5" santoku is easy to handle, and can be used for a variety of different functions in the kitchen. This is my go to knife and use it on a daily basis for just about everything. Money well spent!
Is the handle ambidextrous or is it designed primarily for a right-handed user?

What are the specific usage for this knife? advantages vs other knives?
Asked by: SteveP
Santoku knives are generally used for slicing and chopping all different kinds of foods. This particular knife is great for precision cuts and dicing or mincing meats, fruits, and vegetables. The MC66 steel is significantly harder than other steels, at 66 HRC, which means that, in addition to being incredibly sharp, this knife is going to have superior edge retention.
