The Art of the Edge: Precision Meets Performance in Every Slice Where Samurai Heritage Meets Modern Culinary Science Owning a Miyabi Koh knife isn't just about kitchen utility; it’s about wielding a piece of Japanese history refined by German engineering. The Miyabi Koh 10-Piece Magnetic Knife Block Set represents the pinnacle of this collaboration. Each blade is a testament to the artisans of Seki, Japan, the legendary home of swordmaking. By utilizing revolutionary FC61 fine carbide stainless steel, Miyabi has created a blade that achieves a staggering 61 Rockwell hardness, ensuring that the scalpel-like sharpness you experience on day one remains consistent through years of heavy prep work. The Science of the FRIODURx2® Blade What sets the Koh series apart is the proprietary FRIODURx2® ice-hardening process. This isn't just a marketing term; it is a sophisticated cryogenic treatment that optimizes the steel's molecular structure. The result is a blade with exceptional corrosion resistance, superior toughness, and a degree of edge retention that Western knives simply cannot match. Every blade in this set features a mirror-polished finish with a sandblasted 'Katana' edge, a visual nod to the traditional Japanese sword, ensuring your kitchen aesthetic is as sharp as your cuts. Ergonomics Designed for Mastery The Koh series introduces a preferred Japanese-style octagonal handle made from durable Pakkawood. This shape provides a secure, comfortable grip that caters to both traditional Japanese precision work and aggressive Western-style chopping. Accented with a distinctive silver mosaic pin, these handles are as beautiful as they are functional. Balanced perfectly to reduce hand fatigue, this set allows professional chefs and home enthusiasts alike to work through large volumes of produce with effortless grace. The included bamboo easel magnetic block not only saves space but protects your investment by preventing edge-to-surface contact. Learn More

The Complete Miyabi Black Collection The Miyabi Black 10-Piece Magnetic Block Set equips a kitchen with seven Miyabi Black knives, kitchen shears and a sharpening steel, all held on a magnetic easel. It suits cooks who want one consistent series for every task, from paring fruit in the hand to carving a roast. Each blade stays visible and within reach.
Construction and Performance One steel throughout. Every knife shares the series’ ultra-hard powder steel core, so edge retention and maintenance are consistent across the set. Ice-hardened blades. Sub-zero hardening stabilizes the steel for added hardness and corrosion resistance. Flower Damascus cladding. Stainless layers protect each hard core and give the collection a uniform rippled pattern. Hand-honed edges. Each smooth edge is honed in three stages by the Honbazuke method for clean, low-resistance cuts. Magnetic easel. Blades rest against a magnetic surface instead of sliding into slots, and the easel displays the Damascus pattern on the counter.
What the Set Covers The set includes three knives for general board work, two for detail and small-ingredient prep, a long slicer for roasts and fish, and a serrated bread knife. Cooks who want the core of the series without the slicer and rocking santoku should consider the Miyabi Black 8-Piece Magnetic Knife Block Set. Learn More

Continuous Improvement in Every Cut: The Miyabi Kaizen 10-Piece Collection In the world of Japanese cutlery, 'Kaizen' isn't just a marketing term; it is a philosophy of continuous improvement. The Miyabi Kaizen 10-Piece Block Set embodies this by merging centuries-old Seki forging traditions with modern metallurgical precision. Whether you are a professional chef managing a high-volume prep station or a dedicated home enthusiast perfecting your knife skills, this set provides the exact tool for every specific task, from breaking down proteins to intricate garnishing. At the heart of every blade lies a VG10 'super steel' core. This high-carbon alloy is ice-hardened to a 60 Rockwell scale, ensuring the edge remains razor-sharp through hours of use while maintaining enough resilience to resist the chipping common in harder, more brittle steels. Each blade is wrapped in 64 layers of flower Damascus, a beautiful architectural detail that also provides structural support and reduces drag during deep vertical cuts. The blades are finished using the traditional Honbazuke method—a three-stage process where artisans hand-hone the edge to a lethal 9.5 to 12-degree angle. Control is dictated by the refined D-shaped handle, constructed from black linen Micarta. This material offers the aesthetic warmth of wood with the industrial durability of a synthetic resin. Unlike traditional wood handles that can swell or crack in humid kitchen environments, Micarta remains stable and provides a non-slip texture even when your hands are damp from prep work. This set is a comprehensive investment in your culinary workflow, offering two distinct Chef’s knives for varying volumes and a specialized carving knife for flawless presentation. Learn More
