Exceptional Edge Retention
Miyabi knives are crafted from premium Japanese steels and hardened to approximately 61–66 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale, depending on the collection. This higher hardness allows the blades to maintain their razor-sharp edge significantly longer than many traditional Western-style knives, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.
