Miyabi Pakkawood 5000FCD Shotoh (Paring Knife) - 9cm

Your detail knife for neat, controlled prep — fruit, veg, and small cuts done properly.

This is the knife for the small jobs that matter.

Topping beans. Hulling strawberries. Cleaning mushrooms. Trimming little bits. Getting clean cuts through fruit and veg without crushing them. The Miyabi 5000FCD Shotoh (9cm) is designed for controlled, precise prep — the kind of knife you grab constantly because it makes the fiddly work feel easy.

And because it has a symmetrical, double-bevel edge, it suits both right- and left-handed cooks.

What It’s Made From (and Why You’ll Feel the Difference)

At the core is FC61 Fine Carbide steel, chosen for excellent sharpness and strong edge retention.

That core is wrapped in 48 layers of steel, creating the distinctive Damascus-style pattern on the blade.

The cutting edge is finished using the traditional Honbazuke process — a three-stage grind, sharpen, and polish method that delivers that refined, “razor-like” feel on the board.

Handle Feel

Finished with a black Pakkawood handle, plus a steel end cap and mosaic-style pin, it sits comfortably in the hand and feels secure during precise work.

Made to be used every day — not just admired.
