An essential addition to any chef’s collection, the versatile chef’s knife is perfect for almost any cutting task—from dicing fruits and vegetables to carving roasted meats and breaking down poultry.

Miyabi pays tribute to the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with the introduction of Miyabi Koh—meaning “light” in Japanese. Classic, simple and comfortable to use in either a Western or Eastern hold, this cutlery collection is as functional as it is beautiful. The faceted pakkawood handle echoes those favored in Japan, and each one is individually weight-tested in a nine-step process to ensure perfect ergonomic design.

Forged from FC61 stainless steel, each full-tang blade is touched by 46 artisans and is hand-honed to an exceptionally sharp 9.5–12 degrees. The Friodur² hardening process improves the microstructure of the steel for improved cutting performance, corrosion resistance and durability—and the blades are polished to a stunning mirror finish. Sandblasted katana edges, a signature decorative pin and a hand-engraved logo add distinctive Japanese style to the minimalist design.
