Miyabi Evolution Utility Knife

This 5.5 In (140mm) Utility Knife is a go to for finely slicing, dicing, julienne, etc. The edge this knife holds makes it excellent for slicing through tomatoes over and over again without dulling. This utility knife is a workhorse knife in the kitchen for precision work in-hand or on the cutting board. This versatile knife is ideal for cutting up fruit, mincing garlic, and thinly slicing meat or poultry. 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.
