The blades of the 5000FCD series are impressive not only for their striking Damascus pattern, derived from 49 steel layers, but also for their hardness of 61 HRC. Equipped on both sides with the Honbazuke edge typical of Miyabi knife blades, the 5000FCD blades also impress with razor-like sharpness. The black, elegantly shaped Pakka Wood handles with a steel end cap feature red decorative rings at the lower end, which particularly emphasize the exotic appearance of the knives in this series. Blade and handle are excellently balanced in each knife, making any cutting task easy for the user. Hand wash recommended.
