Miyabi Artisan Chef's Knife 9.5-inch
Precision Engineering for the Professional Kitchen When the board is stacked with 50 lbs of mirepoix, the Miyabi Artisan 9.5-inch Chef’s Knife (Gyuto) becomes your most valuable asset. Unlike standard stainless steels that compromise between edge retention and durability, the SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core utilized here is engineered to be both exceptionally hard and remarkably tough. This means you can maintain a laser-sharp 9.5° to 12° edge through grueling shifts without the frequent chipping associated with lesser high-carbon alloys. The Tsuchime Advantage: Efficiency in Every Stroke The blade features a stunning Tsuchime (hammered) finish. Beyond its hand-crafted aesthetic, these indentations create individual air pockets that break surface tension between the blade and the ingredient. Whether you are dicing starchy potatoes or slicing through fatty proteins, food releases instantly, preventing the 'suction effect' that slows down your rhythm. Hand-Finished Craftsmanship from Seki, Japan Each blade undergoes the proprietary CRYODUR ice-hardening process, reaching a 63 Rockwell hardness. The edge is then hand-honed using the three-stage Honbazuke technique—the same method used for traditional katana—resulting in a 50/50 bevel that tracks perfectly straight. The oversized 9.5-inch profile provides additional leverage and a generous flat spot for clean contact with the board, while the smoothed spine and bolster ensure a comfortable choke grip during extended use.

I.O. Shen 10 in. (250mm) Bread Knife
Master the Crust: The 10-Inch Precision Bread Knife That Never Shreds The Artisan Solution for Serious Bakers If you have ever struggled with a standard 8-inch bread knife while tackling a wide, crusty sourdough or a homemade miche, you know the frustration of 'shredding' rather than 'slicing.' The I.O. Shen 10 in. (250mm) Bread Knife is the professional-grade answer to the artisan loaf. Its extra-long blade allows for a full, sweeping motion that clears the largest loaves in a single pass, ensuring clean, uniform slices every time. The Science of the Steel Unlike many serrated knives that use cheaper, softer alloys, I.O. Shen utilizes a proprietary VG-10 steel blend. This is a high-carbon super steel that offers outstanding edge retention. Because serrated blades are more difficult to sharpen at home, I.O. Shen prioritized the durability of the points. Note: This is the only knife in the I.O. Shen collection that does not feature the signature Triplex steel construction. The reason is intentional: a serrated blade requires the uniform hardness of their specialized VG-10 blend to maintain its aggressive cutting profile without the need for frequent professional servicing. A Versatile Japanese Slicer While designed for bread, the Japanese engineering behind this knife gives it a dual identity. The bow-shaped blade and surgical-grade serrations make it an exceptional choice for slicing through beef, roasts, and large poultry. The points bite into the protein while the 10-inch length allows for the long, clean draws required for thin, catering-style slices. Whether you are a professional chef or a dedicated home cook, the I.O. Shen 1027 is a high-performance tool that replaces two knives with one superior instrument. Learn More$159.95 -

Miyabi Artisan Bunka Knife
A High-Performance Workhorse That Bridges the Gap Between Japanese Precision and Western Power The Miyabi Artisan Bunka (SKU 1034067) is a statement piece of functional art, engineered for those who demand the surgical sharpness of Japanese steel without the delicate feel of a traditional 'laser' knife. The 170mm (6.7") blade is forged from SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, ice-hardened to a 63 Rockwell hardness. While this level of hardness typically suggests brittleness, the Artisan series is uniquely tough—designed to withstand high-volume commercial prep without chipping, provided it is treated with professional respect. The most striking visual feature is the Tsuchime finish. This hand-hammered texture is more than aesthetic; it creates air pockets that effectively reduce drag and prevent starchy vegetables like potatoes or onions from suctioning to the blade. Combined with the aggressive 'K-tip' (reverse tanto) geometry, this Bunka excels at both heavy dicing and intricate detail work like scoring proteins or piercing thick skins. Unlike traditional Japanese handles, the Artisan grip is built for significant girth. Often called 'D-shaped' in generic marketing, this handle is actually a symmetrical 'Trophy Bass' or bulbous profile. It features a thick, rounded belly and subtle ergonomic facets that nestle into the palm. This design makes it equally comfortable for left- and right-handed chefs, providing a secure, Western-style feel that provides confidence during long shifts. Hand-finished in Seki, Japan, this knife represents the pinnacle of Miyabi's robust engineering. Learn More$234.95
