Japanese cutlery is known for their beauty, but I believe this one tops them all. This knife is made from the highest quality steel with an exquisite handle. The scalpel-like blade is nothing short of amazing.
If you need a 9.5" Chef knife, this one is IT! Miyabi never disappoints and is ice-hardened for a durable and hard blade, yet flexible. Thin blade and razor sharp, with the Damascus pattern for beauty and function. Handles are so comfortable and easy to hold.
I can't believe that you can actually use something everyday that looks this beautiful. What an absolute piece of art! The blade is gorgeous with 133 layers and an edge that can cut the thinnest slices imaginable yet feels light in the hand and has a perfect balance. The Black Ash handle is not only stunning but feels great in both a right handed as well as a left handed cook.
My husband and I went for sushi one night and the chef was using this knife. It cut so beautifully my husband wanted it, so we bought it. He absolutely loves it.
This Miyabi Black 9.5" Chef is a great knife! A knife that changes how knife should be used on a daily basis. This is a true work of art, a knife is so sharp and fancy however it is so versatile you'll enjoy performance and functionality. Blade consists of 133 layers of steel, resulting in a floral Damascus pattern. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. Maple wood handle shows uniqueness in every pieces, you can choose which handle you'd like and the prettiest. Scalpel-like sharpness, saves you time sharpening your knife because it stays sharp as long that you honed it once in a while.The blade is constructed of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, which is ice-hardened to an impressive 66 HRC.
I like using this size for larger heads of produce. My son is 6'4" and it seems to suit his body type well. Little extra length to work with. I think it is a personal preference. However, anything Miyabi is crafted with such care and attention to detail, you will love having it as an option. The blade is beautiful, sharp and strong!! Handle, super comfortable.
