Miyabi Evolution Prep Knife

The Evolution Prep Knife is longer in the heel than your traditional utility knife, which provides excellent knuckle clearance. This lightweight knife can be used for shallots and garlic, or to cut the membrane out of bell peppers. This prep knife is a compact all-rounder knife for precision prep work in-hand and on the cutting board. The best feature of this knife is truly the smoothed spine and bolster which does not dig into your hands. Ideal for smaller hands, chop with ease and confidence with this versatile fine edge blade. Crafted from superior quality fine carbide steel that is often used in razor blades, the knives offer the signature sharpness for which Japanese knives are known. A sophisticated six-step ice hardening technique unlocks the steel’s full potential guaranteeing these FRIODUR blades boast remarkable initial sharpness, cutting edge retention, corrosion resistance, and chip-resistant toughness. Beautifully polished to a mirror finish, the blades have a katana edge reminiscent of the samurai swords forged in the same town centuries ago. Curved for comfort and thicker at the end to prevent slipping, the triple-rivet handles encourage fatigue-free cutting. A rounded spine, heel, and bolster, plus nine hand-finishing steps ensure these handles have unsurpassed ergonomics.
