Miyabi 1019804 Artisan Series Prep Knife with Cocobolo Rosewood Pakkawood Handle

The Miyabi 1019804 Artisan Series Prep Knife is a handcrafted Japanese utility knife built around a potent SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core, ice-hardened via the CRYODUR process to Rockwell 63 for exceptional edge retention and durability. The blade is finished with a hammered Tsuchime texture that reduces food sticking and delivers an authentic, refined aesthetic, while the hand-honed katana edge — achieved through the three-step Honbazuke process — brings a razor-sharp 9.5 to 12 degree bevel. The D-shaped Cocobolo Rosewood pakkawood handle features brass and red spacers, a decorative mosaic pin, and a stainless steel end cap, offering both a secure ergonomic grip and striking visual elegance. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife merges centuries-old samurai sword tradition with modern metallurgy, making it an exceptional tool for detailed prep work in demanding professional kitchens.
