Miyabi Koh 8" Chef's Knife
Handcrafted by artisans in Seki, Japan, The MIYABI Koh 8" Chef's Knife is born from time-honored Japanese tradition, expert German engineering, and an advanced steel. The FC61 fine carbide stainless steel provides unsurpassed corrosion and chip resistance, while ensuring the hand-honed edge retains its impressive sharpness. Thanks to an innovative, ice-hardening process, the FRIODURx2® blades offer remarkable durability, sharpness, and cutting performance. This traditional Japanese knife is the counterpart to the Western Chef's Knife. With a thin blade and exceptionally hard steel, it excels at precision cuts. Stylishly stamped with a silver mosaic pin, the exquisite octagon-shaped handle feels as good as it looks. Experience ergonomic perfection with each slice—the Pakkawood handle supports both Western chopping and Asian rocking cuts. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, a homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. The Miyabi Koh 8" Chef's Knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan and carries the manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
