The Miyabi 5000FCD Shotoh 13cm and Santoku 18cm 2pc Set 624833 brings together 2 complementary Japanese kitchen knives for a practical, premium preparation set. FRIODUR ice hardening and a floral Damascus pattern combine durability with a refined finish.

Why We Love It: A Former Chef’s View
Arima Homewares was founded by a former chef with experience across fine-dining, steakhouse, bakery and catering kitchens. That professional background shapes how we select and explain kitchen tools: what they do exceptionally well, where they require care and which cook they genuinely suit.
“A useful knife set should give each blade a clear job. This combination covers Shotoh and Santoku roles without filling the block with near-duplicates, making it a strong foundation for a serious home kitchen.”
Arima Homewares is an Australian family-owned business operating from Sydney since 2018. As an authorised Australian stockist, we supply brand-new products in their original retail packaging. Read more about Arima Homewares.
