All knives in the Miyabi 7000D series are manufactured in the Japanese city of Seki. The city of Seki has been the Japanese center for forging since the 14th century – anyone who produces knives here understands their craftsmanship: Just like MIYABI, because German engineering meets Japanese craftsmanship here. Knives with perfect sharpness, precise cutting, and long durability are created in 42 days and 100 steps. Their design is reminiscent of traditional Samurai swords. Let yourself be taken to the world of Japanese knives!
With the little Shotoh, you can cut everything from apples to zucchini so precisely and effortlessly that it's not just a treat for the palate, but also for the eyes. 
Shotoh means small knife and is often called "Petty knife". This name comes from the French "Petit". It is used for small foods like fruits or vegetables. In Japan, this knife is one of the standard knives and is the most sold blade shape there next to the Santoku knife.

The details Miyabi 7000D:

4 Japanese D-shaped handle
The traditional Japanese ‘D-shaped’ handle ensures all handle styles are ergonomic and enables you to work without tiring. The ‘D-shaped’ handle is rounded off with a decorative end cap with a logo.
5 Sleek damask design

A special blade treatment alters the surface structure of each layer, giving each blade its individual floral damask pattern.
6 Honbazuke honing
This traditional Japanese Honbazuke honing gives every blade its incomparable sharpness. The 19° symmetrical blade is the result of v-edge honing.

Proper cleaning and care of Japanese knives
For Japanese chef's knives, as for all kitchen knives, the basic principle applies: Never put the knife in the dishwasher for cleaning! For re-sharpening it is best to use a good whetstone from the ZWILLING. Important: This does not apply to knives with a serrated edge.
