Miyabi Mizu SG2 7 Santoku Knife

Celebrating Japanese craftsmanship, the Miyabi Mizu SG2 Santoku Knife from Miyabi merges the past and present into an exceptional knife collection. Utilizing traditional methods and innovative techniques, these knives feature a premium SG2 micro-carbide powder stainless steel core wrapped in an additional layer of stainless steel with a hammered ("Tsuchime") Damascus finish.

The Cryodur heat treatment process, a result of ice-hardening, bestows the blade with a remarkable Rockwell Hardness rating of 63, ensuring superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and blade flexibility. Miyabi artisans then employ the traditional Honbazuke sharpening method, originating from Japanese sword making, which involves a three-step process. This process includes sharpening the blades twice on whetstones, followed by a mirror polish on a leather wheel – a technique used over 1,000 years ago for samurai swords, delivering the signature Miyabi razor-sharp edge.

The meticulously crafted blade is complemented by a durable, comfortable, and well-balanced D-shaped Micarta handle, complete with a stainless steel bolster. Elegant accents adorn the handle, such as a decorative mosaic pin, red spacers, and the Miyabi logo engraved on the handle end, showcasing the attention to detail in the knife's design.

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the Miyabi Mizu SG2 Santoku Knife is a testament to the brand's commitment to preserving and elevating Japanese craftsmanship. With a limited lifetime warranty, this knife offers a seamless blend of traditional techniques and modern innovation, delivering an exceptional culinary experience for discerning home cooks and professional chefs alike.
