The knives in this beautiful set are hand-sharpened to a 16° edge on each side to glide through your steak, cutting fewer of the capillaries in the meat and keeping more of the juices inside. You will be astonished at what a difference these fine-edged steak knives can make in the flavor and enjoyment of your steaks.

Beautiful knives! Sharp blade and very smooth cutting. I love the unique aesthetic of the rustic handle.. Heidi M.. Mon Feb 23 2026

Miyabi strives for perfection with Kaizen - Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better." This line of knives combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. The Cryodur blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Then, artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. This attention to detail translates into precision cutting for Miyabi Kaizen users. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta. With a wood-like texture, the comfortable handle won't slip from your hand and acts as a moisture repellant.

The Miyabi Black 5000MCD is a true work of art. The blade is constructed of micro-carbide powdered mc66 steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC. This results in an exceptionally sharp and lasting edge. The blade is wrapped in 132 additional layers of steel, resulting in a beautiful flower Damascus pattern. the handle of the Miyabi Black series is made from unique wood, black ash. The grain and color of the black ash contrast with the Damascus of the blade. The handle is crafted in a traditional "d" shape, providing optimal ergonomics for fatigue-free cutting in the kitchen. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

Purchased at an open-box discount. All knives were included. Some showed some residue from possible prior use, but that washed off without issue. The knives themselves are beautiful, feel great in the hand, and cut well. However, I found that the santoku and paring knife have a curve down the spine of the blade. I will be attempting the warranty process.. Lma25. Sat Dec 07 2024
