The Miyabi Black 5000MCD is a true work of art. The blade is constructed of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC. This results in an exceptionally sharp and lasting edge. The blade is wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a beautiful flower damascus pattern.
The handle of the Miyabi Black series is made from unique wood, black ash. The grain and color of the black ash contrasts with the damascus of the blade. The handle is crafted in a traditional "D" shape, providing optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting in the kitchen.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

Beautiful knife and fun to play with.
Style, quality, and performance. You get it all with this knife.
This knife is not only gorgeous but so easy to use and incredibly sharp! I highly recommend
Beautiful look, sharp edge, good balance. Wonderful addition to my other knifes.
I had my heart set on a Japanese SS knife with a WA handle. However, when I tried them out in the store, I ended up liking this one more with its weight. It has a beautiful pattern so it's a joy to look at as well. So far I love it.
A great Japanese knife is paramount for anyone, no matter their situation. When you need to rough chop something, any German steel or even German, Japanese hybrid will likely do. But this won't work for you when you need to finely cut or chop a charcuterie tray, or something similar that doesn't get cooked down and presentation is key. A regular knife or even a high end German knife will work against you in this scenario. This is where an extremely light and extremely sharp knife like this one comes in. It is much easier to hold, and much easier to cut with this knife, so you can get done quicker and give a better presentation. I own a Shun 7" santoku and I like it, but it's not as sharp as this and I haven't found anything sharper. The balance is superb, there's minimal fatigue holding this knife and it's comfortable in my hand. Being as light as this is I should warn you to be mindful of what you're cutting. This isn't meant to be a versatile knife by any means. Always keep another workhorse knife nearby and don't be afraid to change them out when you need to tackle heavier stuff like large portions of meat. Especially when cooked.
Perfect length for everyday use and beautiful to look at. Easy to handle and extremely sharp!
Handles incredibly smooth and controlled! Can slice the thinnest slivers to the smoothest chunks. Fits well in hand and works for either right or left hand. Highly recommend!!
I use this knife for all my prep work and cuts. Excellent product!
This knife is truly amazing. Sharp precise. Love my new best gadget. Highly recommend
