Each elegant Miyabi Koh knife is crafted in Seki, Japan. There, Miyabi artisans merge rich Japanese tradition with expert German engineering and state-of-the-art steel to produce these ultimate kitchen knives. Advanced FC61 fine carbide stainless steel - 61 hardness on the Rockwell scale - provides unsurpassed corrosion and chip resistance. This cutting-edge steel ensures the hand-honed blades retain their impressive sharpness for a long time. Thanks to an innovative, ice-hardened process, the Friodurx2 blades offer remarkable durability, sharpness, and cutting performance. The stunning blades are finished with a true katana edge, an homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago, and feature an embossed Miyabi logo. Stylishly stamped with a silver mosaic pin, the exquisite octagon-shaped handle feels as good as it looks. The Pakkawood handle supports both Western chopping and Asian rocking cuts - experience ergonomic perfection with each slice.
Beautiful knife hits well above its price point. I have been owning and using Japanese knives in professional kitchens for the better part of 3 decades and this knife performs as well or better than knives from misono, Masahiro and others and costs far less. It’s also much more user friendly, sharpened on both sides, stainless, and a more traditional shape- if that works for you. At 109 bucks it’s a steal. Get one!. Sean Conroy. Colorado Springs.
