Great of example of the Best of the East and West
on April 18, 2020
Posted by: CookinginCali
I gave an Evolution to my cousin and his wife since they were looking to start using 'grown up tools' in their kitchen. The kids were old enough and they just decided it was time. He thanks me every time we see each other, and occasionally I get pictures of something they have cooked.
This is that kind of knife, it inspires love and cooking creativity. It is a hybrid of Japanese and German knife making tradition. The handle is a perfect example. It is a little heavier like a German knife, but a little narrower like a Japanese knife. The steel that the blade is made of is German and the craftsmanship is Japanese. The combination is a hard durable blade that stays sharp for a long time. Hone it regularly and sharpen maybe once a year; you'll have it forever.
Even the shape of this knife is a East and West. The santoku is a much used prep knife is Japanese cooking. It's usual flat blade in this case is replaced with a wide arc that facilitates the rocking motion by Western cooks. Its the best of both worlds. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash to retain the beauty and look of new.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love Rocking

A rocking santoku is the perfect knife for me. I am a rocker when I cut up veggies and this design helps me be super efficient. The incredibly sharp, razor edge slices through an onion so perfectly that there are no tears. The "dimples" on the blade help keep food from sticking.
Evolution is an authentic Japanese knife; much of the process is done by hand. It is made from FC61 steel which is very hard (think great edge retention) but also extremely durable (very chip resistant). The curved handle is more like a German knife, especially with the durable 3 rivet design.

This is a wonderful knife, a thin profile razor sharp Japanese blade with a western style handle. Forged from FC61 steel which attains 61 on the hardness scale and is able to be honed into an extremely sharp edge that will stay that way longer. The patented ice hardening process ensures this knife will be resistant to chipping and cracking.

A Japanese wonder! Quality craftsmanship - takes 42 days to make each knife! You know you will get the best of the best with Miyabi's attention to detail. Thin, yet durable, ice-hardened blade.

Evolution has always been my favorite line of knives from Miyabi. Very approachable, easy to care for and familiar in the hand.
This knife is great for the person who likes to use a chef but wants the attributes of a Santoku. Super sharp edge can make smooth cuts through the toughest produce.

Evolution is the perfect marriage between Western and Eastern knives. The handle gives you that classic western style and feel with an incredible sharp eastern blade. This rocking santoku is wonderful for chopping, dicing and mincing!

This MIyabi Evolution 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 experience the beauty of sharpness with the Miyabi Evolution series, I owned a prep knife myself and it is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand.
Time-tested German engineering meets Japanese craftsmanship.

The best!

This is a special design for lots of chopping, slicing and mincing. the rocking feature is a nice benefit to have for those who like to stabilize their hand on top of the blade while chopping. It's angle design is also good for lifting cut herbs and vegetables without a scraper.
