Knives

Two Knives for Most of the Daily Work The Miyabi Black 2-Piece Knife Set pairs the series’ 8-inch chef’s knife with its 3.5-inch paring knife. Between them, the two cover most everyday prep: the chef’s knife handles board work from dicing to slicing, and the paring knife handles peeling, trimming and detail work in the hand. It is a practical starting point for cooks building a Miyabi Black collection.
Construction and Performance Ultra-hard core steel. Both knives share a fine-grained powder steel core that holds a keen edge through extended use. 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 pair a matched rippled pattern. Honbazuke edges. Each edge is hand-honed in three stages for clean cuts through dense vegetables and delicate fruit alike. D-shaped handles. The traditional Japanese profile gives a comfortable grip on both knives. Each handle’s grain and color are unique.
Building the Collection The natural additions to this pair are the Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Bread Knife for bread and the Miyabi Black 10-inch Tungsten Honing Rod for edge maintenance. Learn More

The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 (5000MCD) series represents the pinnacle of Japanese blade-smithing. This 2-piece set provides the two most essential tools for any kitchen: the workhorse 8-inch Gyutoh (Chef's Knife) for effortless slicing and dicing, and the 3.5-inch Paring Knife for intricate detail work. At the heart of each blade is a core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, protected by 100 layers of two different steels, creating a stunning "Flower Damascus" pattern. Hand-honed in Seki, Japan, using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke process, these blades feature a scalpel-like 9.5° to 12° edge. Key Features: Exotic Karelian Birch Handles: Each knife is finished with a traditional D-shaped handle made from Karelian (Masur) Birch—a rare wood so prized for its unique rippling grain that it was the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. The result is a set that is as much a gallery piece as it is a high-performance culinary instrument. SG2 Micro-Carbide Core: One of the world’s hardest steels (63 Rockwell), ensuring an edge that stays sharp significantly longer than standard stainless steel. 101-Layer Flower Damascus: A breathtaking aesthetic that also provides exceptional durability and prevents food from sticking to the blade. CRYODUR® Ice-Hardened: The blades undergo a signature -196°C ice-hardening process to maximize corrosion resistance and edge retention. Traditional D-Shape Handle: Ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue during long prep sessions, accented with a mosaic pin and decorative end cap. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan: Produced by master artisans in the historic capital of Japanese sword-making. Learn More

Precision at Your Fingertips: The Ultimate Japanese Prep Duo In the world of high-stakes culinary preparation, the difference between a good dish and a masterpiece often lies in the details. The Global Classic 2-Piece Paring Knife Set (G-2346) is engineered specifically for those intricate tasks that require surgical precision and absolute control. This set combines two essential GSF-series blades: the GSF-46 3-inch Paring Knife and the GSF-23 4.5-inch Utility Knife, providing a comprehensive solution for peeling, trimming, and decorative garnishing. The Global Advantage: Cromova 18 & Ice-Tempered Strength Unlike traditional European cutlery, Global knives are forged from a single piece of proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel. This unique alloy of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium is ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell C56-C58. The result is a blade that is hard enough to maintain a steep, acute edge for significantly longer than standard steel, yet tough enough to resist chipping under professional use. Each blade features a unique convex edge, ensuring a smoother cut through everything from fibrous shallots to delicate citrus skin. Iconic Design Meets Modern Hygiene Global's signature aesthetic isn't just for show. The seamless transition from blade to handle eliminates food traps, making this set exceptionally hygienic for busy kitchens. The hollow handles are filled with the perfect amount of sand to provide a precision-weighted balance that reduces wrist fatigue. Complemented by the famous dimple pattern, these handles offer a slip-resistant, ergonomic grip even when your hands are wet. Whether you are a professional chef or a home enthusiast, this set offers the agility needed for high-volume prep work. Learn More
