Miyabi Artisan knives celebrate Japanese craftsmanship, merging past and present with traditional methods and innovative techniques. Layered with a stunning hand-hammered tsuchime finish, the blades are forged from SG2 steel, known for its superior hardness and durability.

The D-shaped rosewood PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably in hand, promoting a secure grip and fatigue-free cutting. This essential set includes a paring knife and a chef's knife.
