The rocking santoku is such a versatile knife. The curve in the blade allows you to rock like you would with a chef knife, but because it has a "flat bottom" too, it's very easy to chop. Both cutting techniques are ideal for fruits and veggies. It has a scalpel-like blade sharpness that is a result of a thin blade with a very small edge angle.
The birchwood handle is so unique. It is very comfortable with its traditional D shape plus the birchwood material makes it very slip resistant. I love how the handle will become very personal as it absorbs oils from your hands and develops its own personality.
The 100 layer Damascus blade has a very sharp SG2 steel core that not only gives it incredible edge retention but makes it very durable and beautiful.
This knife is a perfect size for everyday use in any kitchen. It’s very sharp and holds an edge for a long time. The Damascus pattern on the blade is beautiful. The handle is lightweight and each handle varies from each other.
This knife really is the best of both worlds. Functions like a Chef knife with the attributes of a Santoku. The handle on these knives feel so secure and smooth in your hand and look absolutely beautiful over time. The 101 layer Damascus is stunning and gives the knife a nice balance. Super fine edge is very sharp and stays sharp with proper care and occasional sharpening.
Beautiful Japanese crafted blade and handle in a rocking santoku. Knife allows you to alternate between the chopping motion of a santoku and rocking ability of Western chef knife. Comfortable birchwood handle and acute edge angle of blade will have knife gliding through everything placed on the cutting board.
A great Miyabi knife, it rocks quietly for it is so sharp and functionality is awesome..!!! I'd use this every day and never needed a lot of sharpening because it stays sharp, honed it once in a while. Perfect for every cutting needs. Don't forget The potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a Tsuchime finish. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, a homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago.
Miyabi is known for showing great attention to detail. Careful construction and craftsmanship. This knife is a unique shape for those who enjoy the extreme rocking motion for cutting. I like chopping my herbs with this ultra sharp knife.With the rocking motion, you can make quick easy work of a lot of product. The birchwood handle is stunning and super comfortable. Every detail is considered.
The shape of the rocking santoku blade allows you to rock or chop so fluidly. The Birchwood blade is gorgeous with its one of a kind damascus detail. The handle is lightweight and comfortable. Amazing knife.
