Miyabi Kaizen II 5000FCD 3.5 in. Paring Knife 34680-093

The MIYABI Kaizen II 5000FCD 3.5" Paring Knife is designed for precision cutting and detailed food preparation. Its FC61 fine-carbide stainless steel core is protected by 48 layers of stainless Damascus steel, creating a distinctive flower pattern that is darkened through acid dipping. The blade is double ice-hardened using ZWILLING's FRIODURx2 process for improved durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Hand-honed using the traditional Honbazuke method to an exceptionally sharp 9.5°–12° angle, the blade delivers precise cutting performance for peeling, trimming, garnishing, and preparing smaller fruits and vegetables. A black D-shaped Pakkawood handle provides a comfortable, balanced grip and features a decorative mosaic pin and stainless steel end cap. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern blade technology.
