Miyabi

Miyabi

Miyabi embodies the perfect fusion of the ancient art of Japanese swordsmithing and German precision engineering. Crafted by Zwilling J.A. Henckels in Seki, Japan—the legendary birthplace of Japanese cutlery for over 800 years—each Miyabi knife is a functional work of art inspired by the spirit of the samurai sword.

The name “Miyabi” evokes the refined elegance and timeless beauty of Japanese culture. This philosophy is reflected in every blade, forged using traditional techniques passed down from master to apprentice, combined with cutting-edge technologies to create knives of exceptional performance.

The Excellence of Japanese Forging

• Authentic Damascus steel: Blades composed of multiple layers of steel (up to 133 depending on the series), creating unique patterns and superior strength
  
• Exceptional edge: Three-step Honbazuke sharpening, performed entirely by hand according to Japanese tradition, for a cut with surgical precision
  
• Japanese cutting angle: Bevel sharpened to 9.5°–12° per side (compared to 20°–22° for a Western knife), for minimal cutting resistance
  
• Optimal hardness: High-carbon treated steel, between 60 and 63 HRC depending on the series, for a long-lasting edge far superior to traditional German knives (56–58 HRC)
  
• Perfect balance: Ergonomic design offering total control and comfort during extended use
  
• Exceptional handles: Precious woods (birch, pakkawood) or high-end composite materials for a sublime grip
