Perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks from slicing a tomato to cutting kitchen twine, this indispensable prep knife packs incredible versatility into a small, easy-to-handle package.

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.
