Zwilling Miyabi Mikoto 8" Chef's Knife

This 8" chef's knife from Zwilling is the epitome of Japanese knife-making artistry. Forged in Seiki City, the traditional home of Japanese knife making, the Miyabi blades are made from 101 layers of specialty steel, folded to create exceptional strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance. Each blade is subjected to Zwilling's patented Cryodur ice-hardening process that enhances hardness, flexibility and corrosion resistance without making the steel brittle, and the knives are finished with a dramatic, acid-dipped diamond-shaped pattern that makes each example unique in appearance. Hand-sharpened using the traditional Honbazuke method to a precise 10* blade angle, Miyabi knives offer superior edge retention.
