About Miyabi 雅
Miyabi is Zwilling's answer to the superior quality of Japanese knives. Realising that it is simply impossible to catch up with Japanese knifemaking, Zwilling Group has decided to set up Zwilling Japan, and recruit local craftsmen to make Japanese knives using the tradition of the ancient masters. According to Zwilling, "Miyabi knives are authentic because MIYABI does not try to be Japanese; it really is Japanese."
Care:
Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Cutting Surface:
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.
Sharpening:
We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Well, Customs to Europe cost me a liver, one arm and few toes ...
But in the end I am so happy with the knife ! :-)
I was afraid while reading comments about some Miyabi showed a bent blade ...
Nothing like that here : it is all perfect ;
I confess that was an impulse buy ; this knife is SO beautiful with the 100 layer damascus, and that birchwood handle !
I chose a stainless blade to use it for veggies ... but now I am NOT sure I will ever use it :
I don't want to damage such a beaut' ... :-)
The knife arrived in perfect condition, really razor sharp ... Scary !
I could only fell a VERY light burr under a finger ... and I just removed it honing the blade few times ... on a cardboard :-)
Would you have retailers, or a store in Europe, I would certainly keep the collection growing ...

I went from a JA Henckels Pro S Santoku to the Miyabi. I have their slicing knife and it has worked well cutting fish. The Santoku has cut very well and I like the larger wooden grip. Father also compared it to his shun and he likes it more.
