Choosing a Miyabi Line
| Line | Steel | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Miyabi Birchwood | SG2 powder steel, 63 HRC | Top performance with a natural birch handle; holds its edge best through acidic vegetable prep |
| Miyabi Black | MC66 powder steel, 66 HRC | Top performance with a black maple burl handle; holds its edge longest on proteins and low-acid foods |
| Miyabi Artisan | SG2 powder steel, 63 HRC | The same class of powder steel, for cooks who care less about the look |
| Miyabi Kaizen | VG10, 60 HRC | Damascus looks at a more moderate price; holds an edge well but needs careful use to prevent chipping |
| Miyabi Koh | FC61, 61 HRC | A durable workhorse that responds well to honing; a good first Japanese knife |
| Miyabi Evolution | FC61, 61 HRC | A durable workhorse with a riveted Western-style handle; easy to care for |
Keeping the Edge
FC61 responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a ceramic or tungsten rod between uses keep the edge aligned; sharpen on whetstones at the factory angle when honing no longer restores it. Do not use a pull-through sharpener with coarse carbide.
Care
- Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and dry at once. Do not put Miyabi knives in a dishwasher.
- Cut on wood or soft composite boards; glass, stone and ceramic boards damage a hard edge.
- Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
