Miyabi Knife Sharpener

Japanese cuisine champions the aesthetic appeal of food that has been cut with precision and grace for the preservation of taste and the texture of delicate foodstuffs like sashimi.

Miyabi knives were created to provide professional chefs and home cooks exceptionally sharp knives. They are manufactured by Zwilling J.A. Henckels in Seki, Japan the centre of the sword and knife industry since the 14th century. Each and every one is unique.

Specifications:

• The extremely hard CMV60 steel core is encased in 64 layers of two kinds of steel of different hardness.
• CRYODUR® blade is hardened using a specially developed process (including ice-hardening at -196° C) to guarantee extreme hardness.
