Miyabi Black 2-Piece Knife Set: 8-inch Chef’s and 3.5-inch Paring

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.
