Miyabi Black 5000 MCD67 3.5-Inch Shotoh/Paring Knife

Miyabi Black 5000 MCD67 3.5-Inch Shotoh/Paring Knife. A paring knife makes small preparation tasks easier to organize. Reach for its compact blade to trim strawberries, remove blemishes or prepare citrus when a large chef’s knife would take up more room than the job needs.

At a glance

• Detailed preparation

  The small blade is suited to precise trimming and peeling, with a cutting board supporting the ingredient whenever practical.

  MC66 powder steel forms the core of the Black series blade, surrounded by a dense Damascus pattern.

  The D-shaped black maple handle contrasts dark wood grain with the patterned blade.

Find your fit

Choose a small knife by how steadily you can guide it. Keep the edge directed away from your supporting hand and use deliberate short cuts instead of trying to force the blade. Our guides help you compare paring and petty-knife roles and understand handle fit.

Care and storage

Hand-wash with mild detergent, dry promptly and store with the edge protected. Use a suitable cutting board; avoid bones, frozen ingredients and sideways pressure. Follow the model’s instructions when sharpening.
