xMeet the Miyabi Koh 8-Inch Chef's Knife
The Miyabi Koh 8-inch chef knife blends German engineering with exquisite Japanese craft, delivering a versatile tool that can tackle onions, meat, and garlic with ease. The blade’s generous length helps you glide through ingredients with controlled, precise motion, turning everyday prep into a smoother, more enjoyable task.
Materials and Craft
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan by skilled artisans using the traditional Honbazuke method, the blade is built from FC61 fine carbide stainless steel. With a 61 on the Rockwell scale, this steel resists corrosion and chips while maintaining a sharp edge for longer.
Thanks to an ice-hardening process known as FRIODURx2, the blade gains durability and edge retention. The blade profile is a true homage to the katana, featuring a mirror finish, a sandblasted edge detail, and the MIYABI logo, all complemented by a slim, authentic edge angle of roughly 9.5–12 degrees.
- FC61 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance
- Ice-hardened FRIODURx2 technology for long-lasting sharpness
- Hand-honed Honbazuke edge for precise, razor-like cuts
- Authentic thin Japanese blade profile with a katana-inspired edge
- Mirror-polished blade with refined design details
Performance and Comfort
In daily kitchen tasks, this knife feels balanced and responsive. Chop onions into even pieces, slice lean meat with minimal effort, and mince garlic to a fine paste—all while enjoying a smooth, controlled motion. The octagon-shaped Pakkawood handle offers an ergonomic grip suitable for both Western chopping and Asian rocking cuts.
- Versatile for chopping, slicing, and mincing
- Ergonomic octagonal handle designed for fatigue-free prep
- Designed for comfortable, precise cuts across a range of kitchen tasks
Care and Longevity
To preserve the blade’s edge and finish, hand wash and dry promptly after use. Regular honing helps maintain sharpness between sharpenings, ensuring responsive performance over time.
