Miyabi Knives
Miyabi: The Art of Sharpness
Miyabi Knives are the chimera of fine cutlery, the product of German engineering and Japanese craftsmanship. The Miyabi brand was born in 2004 when Zwilling, the renowned German knifemakers, acquired a factory in Seki City, the Japanese capital of sword and knife production. Each Miyabi knife is crafted by skilled artisans who use state-of-the-art technology and premium materials in a process that takes over 100 steps and 42 days per knife.
Miyabi Artisan
Featuring a hammered Tsuchime finish, the Artisan collection uses an SG2 micro-carbide steel core clad with layers of nickel and stainless steel. Hand-formed and honed in Seki, Japan, the Artisan Series is an excellent blend of modern steel technology and classic craftsmanship. The beautiful clad blades are well paired with hefty Cocobolo Pakka Rosewood handles, carefully contoured for an exceptionally comfortable grip.
Miyabi Birchwood
A stunning example of Damascus artistry, the Birchwood line features 50 layers of steel on each side of an SG2 powdered steel core. Each blade is hand-honed using the traditional three-step Honbazuke process, then CRYODUR ice-hardened for enhanced hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The blade is sharpened on whetstones with custom grits and finished with mirror polishing on a leather wheel. The Karelian Birchwood handle gives each knife a warm, distinctive character.
Miyabi Kaizen
Kaizen means "improvement" or "change for the better," and this collection is a strong example of Miyabi's balance of beauty and performance. Each blade features a VG10 core clad with 32 layers of steel on each side, creating a beautiful flower Damascus pattern. The blades are hand-honed using the traditional three-step Honbazuke process, then CRYODUR ice-hardened for added durability. Black Micarta handles are accented with a mosaic pin, red spacers, and a metal end cap.
Miyabi Evolution
Miyabi Evolution knives are unique in both steel composition and blade design. These Western-style blades feature Miyabi's proprietary FC61 steel, honed to a scalpel-like edge and paired with a familiar triple-rivet POM handle. This series is ideal for cooks who prefer the feel of a European knife with the edge retention and cutting performance of Japanese steel.
Miyabi Koh
The Koh collection pairs German engineering with clean Japanese design. FC61 steel is ice-hardened to 61 Rockwell for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and chip resistance. Exquisite octagonal wa-style PakkaWood handles provide a comfortable grip, while wide Western blade shapes offer generous knuckle clearance and easy maneuverability.
Miyabi Black
Miyabi Black is an example of a highly reputed production knife maker pulling out all the stops to showcase its best work. The MCT67 powdered steel core undergoes multiple heat treatments, including sub-zero quenching, to obtain a 67 Rockwell hardness and exceptional edge retention. Aesthetic features include 132 layers of Damascus cladding with a flower design, a Big Leaf Maple burl wood handle with mosaic pin, and a steel end cap with logo. Each blade is hand sharpened with Honbazuke honing prior to packaging.
