Miyabi Artisan 7-Inch Rocking Santoku Knife – Handcrafted SG2 Steel, Thin Japanese Blade, Cocobolo Handle

MIYABI’s Artisan series embodies the pinnacle of Japanese knife craftsmanship, merging traditional techniques with innovative materials to create exceptional cutting tools. The SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core is expertly layered and finished in a distinctive Tsuchime pattern, a hand-hammered effect that not only adds to the knife’s aesthetic appeal but also reduces food sticking. Each blade is hand-honed to perfection using the three-step Honbazuke process, achieving a razor-sharp edge between 9.5 to 12 degrees, and is finished with a true katana edge, echoing the legendary swords forged in Seki centuries ago. The Cocobolo Rosewood pakkawood handle is carefully crafted to mirror the beauty of the blade, with sophisticated details including brass and red spacers, a mosaic pin, and a stainless steel end cap. The ergonomic D-shaped design ensures a comfortable fit in the hand, allowing for effortless cutting. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife is a testament to the region’s legacy in knife making.
