This small, handy Shotoh has a blade length of 14cm and is made from FC61 steel with twofold ice-hardening (61 HRC). The hard, Katana-edge cut ensures that the sharp edge will be long-lasting.

The octagonal design of the Pakka wood handle and bolster ensure comfort and safety. The MIYABI logo is engraved on the blade. This Shotoh can be used for vegetables, fruits and other food preparation tasks. Made in Seki, Japan from a single layer of FC61 steel.

Thanks to the ultra-sharp blade, despite its smaller size, this knife packs a powerful punch when it comes to chopping and dicing things like fruit and even tougher vegetables with complete ease and precision.

To ensure the knife stays in the best shape possible, it should be sharpened regularly, and should be cleaned only with warm water and a light detergent before being left to fully dry in between each use.

It shouldn't be used in the dishwasher, submerged in water, or cleaned with a hard or rough sponge that could cause damage to the blade.

This knife would make the perfect gift for someone who loves to cook - or even just a treat to yourself if your current knives are starting to look a bit worn and you'd like to get some professional quality knives that you know will last.
