Very firm, multi-wrapped Japanese micro-carbide blade. Damascus pattern and ash wood handle make each one it's own work of art. Scalpel-sharp and stays that way.
This lovely 8 chef is the best in the world! With MC66 steel it is scapel-like sharp and a beautiful piece of art at the same time. The handle is so nice and fits so well in your hand. This is a knife you will have forever and pass down to the next generation.
From the razorlike 66 rockwell blade tip to the classic metal butted d shaped handle, this knife is perfection. The steel is amazing in hardness and strength. the 133 layers of meticulous layers are stunning and the amazing ash wood handle with classic rivet, superb. For the guy or gal who already has everything.. there is this knife!
This knife is like owning a Japanese sword! Crafted from MC66 steel it reaches an impressive 66 on the hardness scale meaning it will retain its razor sharp edge longer. The core is covered with 132 additional layers of steel to produce the beautiful damascus pattern. The traditional Japanese D shaped handle is made of black ash...a true luxury.
If you want the very best Japanese knife, this is the one. It is made of one of the hardest steels available which ensures an incredibly sharp knife that will stay sharp. It is a stunning damascus design and a beauty black handle with the signature Miaybi pin. Miyabi knives are known to be the best; sold and made in Japan as a premium knife. Definitely a knive to show and use every day.
No need for any other Chef knife - Miyabi or otherwise! This one will make your kitchen duties a dream and has the Damascus design for further design and functional appeal.
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.
