I have never seen a knife that is this shape and size and I don't know why there aren't more of them! It is great to use for so many different things, like cutting apple, peeling garlic, and chopping herbs. The handle on this knife is so comfortable to use and the curves make it easy to use.
I love the attention to detail on this lovely prep knife. From the smooth transition between blade and handle to the interesting logo on the blade As a perfect shape knife for chopping small amounts of veggies to slicing and dicing onions, it will get plenty of use in my kitchen. Meant to last a lifetime, the cutting edge certainly stays sharp and smooth unlike other Japanese brands that seem to nick a lot.
I gave an Evolution to my cousin and his wife since they were looking to start using 'grown up tools' in their kitchen. The kids were old enough and they just decided it was time. He thanks me every time we see each other, and occasionally I get pictures of something they have cooked.
This is that kind of knife, it inspires love and cooking creativity. It is a hybrid of Japanese and German knife making tradition. The handle is a perfect example. It is a little heavier like a German knife, but a little narrower like a Japanese knife. The steel that the blade is made of is German and the craftsmanship is Japanese. The combination is a hard durable blade that stays sharp for a long time. Hone it regularly and sharpen maybe once a year; you'll have it forever.
The shape of this knife 5-inch prep knife is all West. It will finely slice tomatoes and easily chiffonade herbs. It will cut a sandwich in half and butterfly a chicken breast. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash to retain the beauty and look of new.
Beautiful thin Japanese blade meets Western handle for a effortless cutting experience. The patented ice hardening process leaves this blade exceptionally hard yet chip and crack resistant. Because the blade is forged from FC61 steel it is able to retain its razor sharp edge longer. I love this prep knife because it is smaller than a traditional Chef's knife but sturdy and sharp enough to tackle all the same jobs.
Great knife for most veggies, potatoes, and hard to cut rinds, like melon and squash. Miyabi is known for their Japanese craftsmanship with German steel. A perfect combo for knives that last a lifetime with a thin blade, yet durable from the ice-hardened process. Handle feels good and is comfortable.
This prep knife is a great knife for those in between jobs; when the parer is too small but the chef knife is too big. It's perfect for small fruits and vegetables or slicing meats and cheese.
Evolution is made of an incredibly durable, chip resistant steel. With its razor sharp edge, it slices through anything like butter. I love the handle shape and size, perfect for my hand and durable enough to last a lifetime.
