Miyabi Artisan knives celebrate Japanese craftsmanship, merging past and present with traditional methods and innovative techniques. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, an homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. The blade's potent core of SG2 steel is layered in a stunning hand-hammered tsuchime finish. Rosewood PakkaWood handles mirror the beauty of the blades. This Artisan knife set comes with a magnetic easel-style block for dramatic display.
