$749.95
Forged in Seki, Japan, these beautiful Miyabi knives combine exceptional Japanese craftsmanship with the best German blade-hardening technology and stunning modern design. The blades are expertly layered with SG2 micro-carbide powder steel using an innovative ice-hardening process. Each side is finished with 50 layers of floral-patterned Damascus steel to protect the long-lasting sharpness of the Cryodur blades while increasing their corrosion-resistance. The scalpel-like knife edges are hand sharpened using a traditional three-step Honbazuke method, which includes a final mirror polish to create the exquisite finish. The traditional D-shaped handles are made from prized Karelian (Masur) birch – the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. Sold in a set of four, these knives are remarkably sharp, slicing cleanly through steaks and chops without tearing to preserve the delicious juices. Set of four. Each SG2 micro-carbide powder steel blade is protected by 100 layers of Damascus stainless steel (50 on each side) and hand hammered in a striking floral pattern. Authentic thin Japanese blade profile enables lightweight handling for precise control. Fine carbide distribution creates razor-sharp blades with Rockwell hardness 63. Double ice-hardened FRIODUR blades provide remarkable durability, corrosion-resistance and edge-retention. Using historic Honbazuke method, blades are hand honed to exceptionally sharp 9.5–12 degree angle. Blades have rounded spines and heels. Karelian (Masur) birch handles feature mosaic pin and engraved Miyabi logo on end cap. Ergonomic D-shaped handles are comfortable to hold. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan – a city renowned for producing the highest-quality cutlery.
