Miyabi Black 10-Piece Magnetic Block Set

Every Miyabi Black Profile, on One Easel

The Miyabi Black 10-Piece Magnetic Block Set is for cooks who want the hardest steel among the Miyabi sets we carry, applied to every task from peeling fruit in the hand to portioning a side of salmon. Instead of building a collection one knife at a time, it supplies a matched series with one feel, one maintenance routine and one place to store it.

Why It Works

• Ultra-hard powder steel core: The core holds a keen edge through long prep sessions, so the knives need sharpening less often than softer steels.


• CRYODUR ice-hardening: Miyabi’s sub-zero hardening process adds hardness, durability and corrosion resistance.


• Flower Damascus cladding: Stainless layers protect the hard core and form a rippled pattern that differs on every blade.


• Honbazuke edge: Each smooth edge is hand-honed in three stages, so the blade enters food with very little resistance.


• Burl wood handles: Each handle shows its own color and figure, shaped in the traditional D profile with a rounded spine and heel for a comfortable grip.


• Magnetic easel: The knives stand against the easel instead of sliding into slots, which keeps the Damascus pattern on display and makes each knife easy to pick out.

In the Kitchen

Two santoku profiles work alongside the chef’s knife. The smaller santoku is quick for vegetables and herbs, and the rocking santoku suits cooks who rock the blade through garlic and parsley rather than push-cutting. The slicing knife carves roasts and portions fish in long single strokes, and the bread knife saws through crusted loaves. The prep and paring knives cover shallots, trimming and peeling. For the core of the series without the slicer and rocking santoku, see the Miyabi Black 8-Piece Magnetic Knife Block Set. For a slightly softer SG2 core with natural birch handles, compare the Miyabi Birchwood 7-Piece Knife Block Set.
