This is one of the most beautiful knife I've ever seen and I also love that it was crafted to take the best of western knives and Japanese knives because the blade is nice and wide, but has the curve that a chef's knife to make it easier to cut.
Curved shape of this "Rocker" leads right into the cut. 66 hardness is quite a lot! Plus, then wrapped 132 for more stability and maintaining sharpness. Ash handle is quite unique.
From the razorlike 66 rockwell blade tip to the classic metal butted D-shaped handle, this rocking Santoku knife is perfection. The steel is amazing in hardness and strength. the 133 layers of meticulous layers are stunning and the amazing black ash wood handle with classic rivet, superb. For the guy or gal who already has everything.. there is this knife!
Perfect blend of east meets west. I love the fact that this knife is made of such a high quality steel that the blade is like cutting softened butter. The handle itself is exquisite and represents the Japanese cutlery well.
What makes this knife so amazing is all of the details that go into it. Starting with a MC66 steel core with 66 or the hardness scale which is likely harder than any steel knife you have ever experienced, it is then wrapped an impressive 132 layers of steel to create a floral damascus pattern. Top it of with a traditional Japanese D shaped handle that is made of black ash. This knife is razor sharp and will stay that way use after use. Hand made in Japan by skilled artisans it will be a treat to reach for such a knife for your daily cooking.
Once you use a Miyabi, you will never turn back! This Black 7" Rocking Santoku is great for veggies, but good for so much else. Ice-hardened, so no need to worry about the sharpness or the durability! Super-sharp edge and the Damascus pattern is both functional and beautiful. Keeps food from sticking while the handle gives a good grip and comfort.
The rocking santoku is one of my favorite knives. I love the incredibly sharp edge and the curved blade that makes rocking cutting a seamless, smooth motion. I almost feel like a chef.
Miyabi Black is the ultimate in Japanese knives. It is made with one of the hardest kitchen steels, MC66, which assures you of incredible edge retention. Its wrapped with 132 layers which gives it that darker Damascus look. The ash handle is rounded, true to its Japanese heritage.
I love this Japanese Knife and how beautiful it looks and feel. It is perfect for all purposes. This knife is great for all your kitchen for all tasks, mincing, slicing, chopping.
