Miyabi Evolution Chef's Knife

Miyabi Evolution merges German engineering expertise with Japanese craftsmanship for the utmost control and accuracy in every cut. The chef's knife is a reliable, all-around knife for those who prefer a smaller-scale chef's knife. Chop herbs, mince shallots, and slice chicken with ease with this ultra-sharp blade. Crafted from superior quality fine carbide steel that is often used in razor blades, the knives offer the signature sharpness for which Japanese knives are known. A sophisticated six-step ice hardening technique unlocks the steel's full potential, guaranteeing these Friodurx2® blades boast remarkable initial sharpness, cutting edge retention, corrosion resistance, and chip-resistant toughness. Beautifully polished to a mirror finish, the blades have a katana edge reminiscent of the samurai swords forged in the same town centuries ago. Curved for comfort and thicker at the end to prevent slipping, the triple-rivet handles encourage fatigue-free cutting. A rounded spine, heel, and bolster, plus nine hand-finishing steps, ensure these handles have unsurpassed ergonomics.
