Forged in Seki, Japan, these beautiful Miyabi knives combine exceptional Japanese craftsmanship with the best German blade-hardening technology and stunning modern design. The blades are expertly layered with SG2 micro-carbide powder steel using an innovative ice-hardening process. Each side is finished with 50 layers of floral-patterned Damascus steel to protect the long-lasting sharpness of the Cryodur blades while increasing their corrosion-resistance. The scalpel-like knife edges are hand sharpened using a traditional three-step Honbazuke method, which includes a final mirror polish to create the exquisite finish. The traditional D-shaped handles are made from prized Karelian (Masur) birch – the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. This set includes four essential knives, kitchen shears, a honing steel and a bamboo storage block.

  • Each SG2 micro-carbide powder steel blade is protected by 100 layers of Damascus stainless steel (50 on each side) and hand hammered in a striking floral pattern.
  • Authentic thin Japanese blade profile enables lightweight handling for precise control.
  • Fine carbide distribution creates razor-sharp blades with Rockwell hardness 63.
  • Double ice-hardened FRIODUR blades provide remarkable durability, corrosion-resistance and edge-retention.
  • Using historic Honbazuke method, blades are hand honed to exceptionally sharp 9.5–12 degree angle.
  • Blades have rounded spines and heels.
  • Karelian (Masur) birch handles feature mosaic pin and engraved Miyabi logo on end cap.
  • Ergonomic D-shaped handles are comfortable to hold.
  • Bamboo storage block safely holds up to 12 pieces; nonslip feet prevent unintentional movement.
  • Knives and honing steel are handcrafted in Seki, Japan – a city renowned for producing the highest-quality cutlery.

Set includes:

  • 3 1/2" paring knife
  • 7" santoku
  • 8" chef's knife
  • 9" serrated bread knife
  • Kitchen shears
  • Honing steel
  • 12-slot bamboo storage block
