For example, the Miyabi 5000MCD Bread Knife 23cm is a bread knife like no other. Besides being the perfect tool for cutting all types of bread, this knife is also a true masterpiece that reflects the beauty of high end Japanese cutlery. Because of its function, it is a must-have in the kitchen, but because of its incredible look, it is a whim that any cook dreams of having!

With just looking at the blade, you know that this knife has no comparison. The blade’s core is enriched with Micro-Carbide MC63 that give the blade an extraordinary solidity. Following the CRYODUR technique, the blade was ice-hardened with temperatures reaching as low as -196°C, which is why it reaches a hardness level of 63 HRC in the Rockwell scale.

Moreover, the creation of the blade followed a very particular process in which a steel plate is created via the combination of 101 layers of soft and hard steel. This is what is commonly known as a damascus effect, and it is why you can see the original wavy lines on the blade’s surface. The overlapping layers of damask steel end up not only enhancing the solidity of the blade but also the aesthetics of the knife.

The handle is made of birchwood, which is a lightweight material that feels comfortable in your hand. Its D-shape, which is a common characteristic among Japanese knives, provides an optimum balance. Finally, to embellish even more the handle’s look, the centre is nicely decorated with a mosaic pin.

To preserve the astonishing quality and look of this knife, it is important that you take proper care of it. To do so, you should always wash this knife by hand and dry it immediately after use. In addition, for whenever you need to sharpen the blade (which won’t be that often), make sure to use only whetstones with fine grains. The use of a sharpening steel could end up damaging the blade.
