MIYABI 6000 MCT Sujihiki - 24 cm

A Sujihiki knife is a Japanese-style slicing knife, designed for precisely slicing meats, fish, and poultry. Its long, narrow blade reduces friction and allows for clean, elegant cuts.

The Honbazuke method is a traditional Japanese three-step sharpening process that results in an exceptionally sharp, symmetrical edge. The Miyabi 6000 MCT is hand-sharpened using this method to an angle of 9.5° to 12°.

No, the Tsuchime (hammered) finish on the blade not only adds to the knife's aesthetic appeal but also helps to reduce drag and prevent food from sticking to the blade during slicing.

MC63 refers to a specific type of powder steel used for the blade's core. This material achieves a very high hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell, contributing to exceptional sharpness and edge retention.

Pakka wood is a durable, dimensionally stable composite material made from layers of wood veneer impregnated with resin. It is resistant to moisture and cracking, providing a comfortable and long-lasting handle.

The ZWILLING Lifetime Warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, or improper care of the knife.

No, this knife is strictly hand-wash only. Dishwasher detergents, high heat, and prolonged exposure to water can damage the blade, handle, and edge.

Ensure you are using the correct slicing technique. If dullness persists, the knife may require re-sharpening using a whetstone or professional service, as the Honbazuke edge is extremely fine.

Although CRYODUR® hardening enhances corrosion resistance, the MC63 steel core is not fully stainless. Wash and dry the knife immediately after each use. If spots appear, gently remove them with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly.

The pakka wood handle is designed for ergonomic balance. Ensure you are holding the knife correctly for a Sujihiki, gripping the handle firmly but comfortably. The balance might feel different from Western-style knives.

This can occur if the knife is used for twisting, prying, or cutting through hard materials like bones or frozen food. Revert to proper slicing techniques and consider professional repair if chipping is significant. Ensure the knife is not stored in a way that allows the edge to be impacted.
