Overview
Not a plain mirror-polished blade, this Miyabi Mizu chef's knife wears a hammered Tsuchime Damascus finish over SG2 micro-carbide powder stainless steel. A D-shaped Micarta handle with a bolster and metal end cap completes it.
Ice hardening is described as delivering high hardness, flexibility and edge retention, and the Honbazuke process sharpens the double bevel by hand. The limitation is a bare spec table, so weight, overall length and care steps are unknown.
Who it's for
Cooks who appreciate Japanese sharpening methods and a decorative handle get a documented edge angle and hardness figure. Buyers who need a full spec sheet should confirm the missing details with the seller.

Performance notes
Cryodur ice hardening raises hardness to the stated figure, which supports edge retention while keeping some flexibility. The Honbazuke method sets a double bevel edge at the stated angle, and the bolster and end cap help balance.
