Miyabi Black 8-Piece Magnetic Knife Block Set

The Five Miyabi Black Knives That Do the Daily Work

The Miyabi Black 8-Piece Magnetic Knife Block Set is for cooks who want the hardest steel among the Miyabi sets we carry, applied to the knives used every day rather than to specialty profiles reached for once a month. It is the shorter path into the series, with the option to add a slicer or rocking santoku later.

Why It Works

• Ultra-hard powder steel core: The core takes a very thin edge and keeps it for a long time between sharpenings.


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


• Flower Damascus cladding: Stainless layers wrap and protect the hard core, and no two blades show the same pattern.


• Honbazuke edge: Three stages of hand honing leave a smooth, keen edge that passes cleanly through ripe tomatoes and firm squash alike.


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


• Magnetic easel: The knives stand on display against a magnetic face, with no slots to clean.

In the Kitchen

The chef’s knife and santoku share the board work. The chef’s knife suits rock-chopping and heavy produce, and the santoku makes quick push cuts through vegetables and boneless proteins. The prep knife covers shallots, garlic and small fruit, the paring knife handles peeling in the hand, and the bread knife saws through crusted loaves. The Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Sujihiki and 7-inch Rocking Santoku can be added individually, or bought together with this set as the Miyabi Black 10-Piece Magnetic Block Set.
