Made from FC61 steel, this knife is great to have for all your prep needs. With the Japanese angle, it is sure to be sharp. Plus, I love the handle on this knife.
Before I got this knife I would either reach for my chef's knife or my paring knife but once I got a prep knife it quickly became one of my favorites. It's perfect for smaller chopping and cutting jobs where I don't need the reach of a longer chef's blade but better than a paring knife. I love the simplistic mirror polished blade on the Koh series and the edge is razor sharp thanks to the FC61 steel which is super hard so the angle stays sharps use after use.
This knife is a gem. It is easy to maneuver, sharper than sharp (and it will stay that way), and beautiful. It will handle all the smaller slicing and dicing jobs - tomatoes, sandwiches, an onion - this knife makes quick work of all your prepping tasks. And the quality of this knife is a testimony to what comes out of marrying two great knife-making traditions: German and Japanese.
The Miyabi Koh line is a super Japanese series made with German steel. With a thin blade and ice-hardened for sharpness and durability, you will notice how well they perform. The prep knife is a must-have knife - and will do all those in-between tasks, not made for a smaller paring or large Chef knife!
This little prep knife is the perfect addition to any knife set. The shorter blade length is perfect for smaller fruits and vegetables and with the scalpel-like blade, it slices through anything with the greatest of ease. It's made of a new steel that is very durable and chip resistant; a huge selling point for Japanese knives with thinner blades and smaller edge angles. The handle is made from wood and fits perfect into your hand.
Made from FC 61 these knives are extremely chip and corrosion resistant. Feels very light in the hand but is still stable to cut with. The handle has a comfortable shape that feels secure and smooth. Great for mincing garlic and herbs, slicing and chopping small veggies and shallots.
