Miyabi Evolution knives are unique in that they are a Japanese blade with a very western styled handle. This means if you are used to a western handle but want to experiment with the thinner Japanese style blade you will find these very comfortable. Made from FC61 steel which has superior hardness to other types of steel these will be able to hold their razor sharp edge use after use. Zwilling has a patented ice hardening process that ensures all their knives, even these thin Japanese blades, are chip and crack resistant.
Evolution is the perfect marriage of Japanese and German knives. The western style "plastic" handle with three rivets is both comfortable and extremely durable. It has enough of a curve to fit in your hand but sleekness to be Asian. The blades are made from a very hard steel, FC61, that is extremely corrosion and chip resistant. They use a special dry sharpening method that achieves scalpel like sharpness, essential for fine slicing and chopping. The set is perfect introduction to this line and leaves a few open slots to add additional knives.
Miyabi knives are top-of-the-line and you will fall in love with the way they perform. With fine Japanese craftsmanship and German steel and engineering, these knives are among the best a kitchen can have! Super sharp, durable and corrosion resistant, these are knives you will want to own and will love using.
Evolution has always been my favorite line of knives from Miyabi. Very approachable, easy to care for and familiar in the hand. This set has everything you will need to get that cooking started!
The evolution line is best of both worlds. Fantastic Japanese blades with classic German handles with red spacers adds a nice pop of color! If you haven’t had the chance to hold this 5.5” santoku I will tell you the handle is on the small narrow side. Great for someone who has small hands.
These MIyabi Evolution set is made and handcrafted in Japan, fabricated from revolutionary FC61 fine carbide steel, Ice-hardened FRIODURx2 blade offers exceptional durability, cutting edge retention, and corrosion resistance. I have a prep knife myself and it is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand. What I love the most with these Miyabi Evolution set, it has everything a cook would ask for in their kitchen for every cooking needs. Its sharp and functionality is awesome..!!! I'd use this every day and never needed a lot of sharpening because it stays sharp as long that you honed it once in a while. This exquisite, shadow effects helps prevent food from sticking. Hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge.
I use the chef's knife multiple times a day and for a variety of uses. Its is super sharp, durable and light weight . I have been using this set for several years now and I have yet to sharpen them. I do use the honing steel which is a great tool to help keep them sharp. The design of the blade is simple and elegant. Very clean!
