Miyabi Koh 7-Inch Santoku

The Japanese All-Purpose Knife for Everyday Precision
The Miyabi Koh 7-inch Santoku brings Japanese-inspired craftsmanship and versatility to everyday kitchen prep. The Santoku profile is designed for slicing, dicing, and mincing with ease, while its compact, agile shape offers excellent control and precision. From vegetables and herbs to boneless meats and fish, this versatile blade is a dependable choice for a wide range of kitchen tasks.


At the heart of the Miyabi Koh series is the revolutionary FC61 fine carbide stainless steel. This advanced alloy solves the age-old kitchen dilemma: it provides the extreme edge retention typically associated with high-carbon Japanese steel while maintaining the chip-resistant toughness of German alloys. Each blade undergoes an innovative FRIODURx2 ice-hardening process, which optimizes the molecular structure of the steel. The result is a staggering 61 Rockwell hardness that remains remarkably resilient under daily professional use.


Every Miyabi Koh knife is a tribute to the legendary samurai swords of Seki. Artisans employ a three-step Honbazuke honing process to achieve a scalpel-like 'Katana' edge. The blade’s thin Japanese profile (angled at 9.5–12°) ensures near-zero resistance when slicing through fibrous vegetables or delicate fish. This performance is balanced by an authentic octagonal Pakkawood handle, providing an ergonomic, slip-resistant grip that supports both Western-style chopping and the specialized Asian rocking motion. Finished with a silver mosaic pin, the Miyabi Koh is not just a tool—it is a piece of culinary heritage.
