Artfully hammered finished blade and rosewood handle of Artisan are simply beautiful. The blade profile of this knife permits use as a paring knife for something small, while the length makes it more maneuverable than a chef knife. Excellent utility knife!
This Miyabi Artisan 5" Utility is my go-to knife, either cutting or slicing fruits, vegetables, or a knife to slice butter. This utility knife becomes my daily steak knife, for its sharpness and narrow blade is comfortable to use for. It's my go-to utility knife prepping food in my kitchen, blades deliver scalpel-like sharpness. Its potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a Tsuchime finish. CRYODUR blade, ice-hardened to Rockwell 63 Handle.The D shape handle and it is fabricated with special Cocobolo Rosewood pakkawood, it is so comfortable in your hand my family enjoy using this knife.
This is a super sharp, durable, beautiful blade. The D shape handle is handsome and comfortable. Pure Japanese craftsmanship. I use this knife daily for smaller fruits and vegetables. I like to use it segmenting oranges and grapefruits. Excellent for chopping and mincing herbs.
This Artisan utility knife kicks butt in the kitchen. I love how comfortable the handle is and the hammered steel blade is incredibly durable and sharp, easily cutting through any food.
This is a great Utility knife. It for one is beautiful. The hammered Tsuchime finish really makes such a big difference when chopping or slicing produce or starchy foods like potatoes and not sticking to the knife. I like how this is such a sharp blade thanks to the ice hardening aspect. The Cocobolo wood D-Shaped handle fits perfectly in my hand and makes for a comfort experience as I chop and cut produce. The knife is sharp and durable, what more can you want in an Utility knife!
I received this knife as a gift in the MIZU line. Apparently it is the same as the Artisan except the handle is a little different. This knife is perfect for general peeling, chopping and dicing. It fits perfectly in my hand and makes short work of everything I have used it to make.
