Miyabi Artisan Santoku Knife, 5 1/2″

Miyabi Artisan knives celebrate Japanese craftsmanship, merging past and present with traditional methods and innovative techniques. Layered with a stunning hand-hammered tsuchime finish, the blades are forged from SG2 steel, known for its superior hardness and durability. Each knife is hand honed with a true katana edge – an homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. The D-shaped rosewood PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably in hand, promoting a secure grip and fatigue-free cutting. This santoku excels at slicing and chopping. Its broad blade is also handy for transferring cut ingredients to bowls and pans.
