Miyabi Koh Prep Knife - 5.5-inch (140mm)
The Precision of a 'Small Sword' Reimagined for the Modern Kitchen In Japanese culinary tradition, the Shotoh is known as the 'small sword'—a tool designed for tasks where a full-sized chef's knife is too cumbersome and a paring knife lacks the necessary reach. The Miyabi Koh 5.5-inch Prep Knife is the definitive evolution of this profile. Whether you are performing intricate vegetable work, creating delicate garnishes, or trimming proteins, this blade offers a level of agility that transforms routine prep into an exercise in precision. At the heart of the Miyabi Koh series is the revolutionary FC61 fine carbide stainless steel. This advanced alloy solves the age-old kitchen dilemma: it provides the extreme edge retention typically associated with high-carbon Japanese steel while maintaining the chip-resistant toughness of German alloys. Each blade undergoes an innovative FRIODURx2 ice-hardening process, which optimizes the molecular structure of the steel. The result is a staggering 61 Rockwell hardness that remains remarkably resilient under daily professional use. Every Miyabi Koh knife is a tribute to the legendary samurai swords of Seki. Artisans employ a three-step Honbazuke honing process to achieve a scalpel-like 'Katana' edge. The blade’s thin Japanese profile (angled at 9.5–12°) ensures near-zero resistance when slicing through fibrous vegetables or delicate fish. This performance is balanced by an authentic octagonal Pakkawood handle, providing an ergonomic, slip-resistant grip that supports both Western-style chopping and the specialized Asian rocking motion. Finished with a silver mosaic pin, the Miyabi Koh is not just a tool—it is a piece of culinary heritage. Learn More$129.95 -

Miyabi Artisan Prep Knife 5.5-inch
The Hardest-Working 5.5-inch Blade in Your Professional Kit The Miyabi Artisan 5.5-inch Prep Knife (34075-143) is engineered as a primary instrument for technical prep where a full chef’s knife lacks the agility and a paring knife lacks the leverage. Unlike many high-carbon Japanese blades that sacrifice durability for sharpness, the Artisan utilizes an SG2 (MC63) micro-carbide powder steel core. This advanced metallurgy achieves a staggering 63 Rockwell hardness for surgical edge retention while maintaining the toughness necessary to survive a high-volume professional shift without excessive chipping. Symmetrical Ergonomics for High-Volume Shifts In a departure from traditional D-shaped Japanese handles that favor right-handed users, the Artisan series features a fully symmetrical, 'Bulbous' or 'Trophy Bass' profile. This handle is significantly thicker and more contoured than standard Japanese designs, offering a girth that feels substantial and familiar to chefs accustomed to Western-style cutlery. The faceted grip includes subtle ergonomic dips rather than a sharp ridge, allowing the handle to nestle naturally into the palm. This makes it an ideal choice for both right and left-handed staff who need a pinch-grip that remains comfortable through forty pounds of mirepoix. Hand-Hammered Tsuchime Performance The blade is finished with a stunning Tsuchime (hand-hammered) texture. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, these indentations create air pockets that break surface tension during the cut. Whether you are performing technical 'in-hand' work like coring or precision dicing of wet ingredients like shallots and garlic, the blade releases food effortlessly. This is a professional-grade SG2 tool that bridges the gap between artisanal Japanese craftsmanship and the ergonomic demands of a modern commercial kitchen. Learn More$184.95 -
