Masahiro 9.5 in. (240mm) Fish Fillet Knife
The STAINLESS steel is MBS-26 which features a Rockwell hardness of 59. The Carbon content is very high at .85-.95 percent. This means that a little extra care should be taken to dry the knife after use to avoid rust. The advantage is that it is easier to sharpen and retains it's edge exceedingly well. The fit on the handle is not on the same par as our other Masahiro knives. In some cases the wooden handle is a bit larger than the knife tang, but can easily be sanded to form a perfect fit.

Crafted in Seki, Japan, the heart of samurai sword-making, this set represents a significant leap in metallurgical technology. The core is constructed from FC61 fine carbide steel, which undergoes a specialized FRIODUR® ice-hardening process. The result is a staggering 61 Rockwell Hardness (HRC) that maintains a scalpel-like edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel, yet remains remarkably resilient against chipping. A Masterclass in Maintenance and Mobility Even the finest Japanese steel requires expert maintenance. This 'Gold Standard' starter set includes the legendary F. Dick EuroCut 12-inch honing steel. Made in Germany, this regular-cut steel is specifically chosen to align the 50/50 bevel of the Miyabi Evolution, ensuring your edge remains optimized for every shift.

Precision Meets Preparation: The Ultimate Miyabi Kaizen Starter Experience The Path of Continuous Improvement in Your Kitchen In the world of professional Japanese cutlery, 'Kaizen' represents the philosophy of continuous improvement. The Miyabi Kaizen 8-inch Chef’s Knife embodies this spirit, blending traditional Seki craftsmanship with modern metallurgical excellence. At the heart of this blade is a VG10 'Super Steel' core, protected by a stunning 64-layer Damascus pattern. This isn't just a tool; it is a surgical instrument designed for the home chef who demands the same precision as a Michelin-starred professional. Why This Specific Starter Set? Most 'starter sets' provide a range of knives you'll rarely use. At Knife Merchant, we curated this bundle to focus on the essential 8-inch Chef Knife (SKU 1001996)—the undisputed workhorse of the kitchen. Because this blade features a high Rockwell Hardness of 60, standard steel honing rods can actually damage the edge. That is why we have included the Master Grade 11-inch White Ceramic Rod (ST-3700). This rod is hard enough to realign the VG10 edge without stripping away the steel, ensuring your Miyabi remains razor-sharp for years. Professional Mobility and Protection Completing the set is our signature Knife Merchant 8-Slot Knife Bag (KM-Knife Bag). Whether you are a culinary student heading to class or a home enthusiast who values organization, this bag provides the protection a high-end Japanese blade requires.

Mac Professional 6.5-inch Nakiri Vegetable Knife
The Gold Standard of Vegetable Prep: Precision Without the Bulk When your shift involves forty pounds of mirepoix or a precision julienne of seasonal vegetables, the tool in your hand determines your fatigue level. The Mac Professional 6.5-inch (165mm) Nakiri (MJU-65) is not just a knife; it is a specialized instrument designed to eliminate the 'accordion' cuts often found with curved chef’s knives. Because the blade is flat from heel to tip, every millimeter of the edge makes contact with the cutting board, ensuring clean, one-pass slices through everything from delicate herbs to dense root vegetables. Industrial Metallurgy for Daily Reliability At the heart of the MJU-65 is a blade forged from premium high-carbon chrome molybdenum vanadium steel (AUS8). For the professional, this means a knife that hits the 'sweet spot' of metallurgy: it is hard enough (60 Rockwell) to hold a razor edge through an entire double-shift, yet tough enough to resist the chipping often seen in more brittle boutique Japanese steels. The 2.5mm spine provides a reassuring weight that lets the knife do the work, reducing the downward pressure required from your wrist. Designed for the Professional Workflow The 1.85-inch blade height is a deliberate ergonomic choice. This provides massive knuckle clearance, allowing even those with larger hands to work at high speeds without rapping their fingers on the board. The handle, crafted from dark Pakkawood, offers the aesthetic of natural wood with the industrial durability of resin-impregnation—making it resistant to moisture and the bacteria-rich environments of a professional kitchen. Whether you are a line cook prepping for a Saturday rush or a home chef perfecting your knife skills, the MJU-65 offers a professional-grade experience that rewards technique with effortless results.
