The 3' paring size is really good for doing detail work or working with smaller veggies. I live to make lovely radish roses, and carving cornichons to perfection for presentations. Artisan is my favorite line in Miyabi because of the comfort of the handle, and the sharpness of the steel used in the blade. not to mention since presentation is everything, it is really just a beautiful knife.
Very durable SG2 steel knife. It cuts with ease ans is very sharp like a typical Japanese knife. I love that it is an in between the typical 3 and 4 inch pairing knives from the German-made lines. 3.5 inches seems perfect for me!
Artisan is a thing of beauty! The first attraction for me is the "hammered" blade; it's such a unque finish but it's also going to help keep food from sticking to the blade. The SG2 steel is very hard which guarantees it will have amazing edge retention. It also boasts that crazy sharp Asian edge angle.
The rosewood handle has a nice round curve which fits very comfortably in your hand.
If you are wanting an authentic Japanese knife, end your search with Miyabi. They are made and sold in Japan as the premium knife.
Aside from the incredible sharp blade this paring knife has a very comfortable grip due to the shape of the handle. The SG2 core ensures it will be razor sharp use after use.
Careful with this one. Feels great in the hand and is super sharp. Makes any small chore a joy to do. Love to use this knife to make radish roses and other veggie garnishes.
It's the easiest to grab, a paring knife with a D shape handle,it is fabricated with special Cocobolo Rosewood pakkawood. It feels great in the hand and comfortable. A professional chef/cook should have. A go-to knife and so sharp to cut food for It's potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a Tsuchime finish.
this paring knife has a slightly wider blade than most traditional paring knives. There is a modern yet classical look and feel to theses knives. The hammered exterior aids in releasing food quickly off the blade. Ingenious! the rosewood handle is very comfortable.
