Overview
A cook who likes a thin Japanese style blade on a German built handle gets this Miyabi Evolution chef knife, made from fine carbide steel that is ice hardened and dry sharpened for a fine edge.
Reason to buy is the blend of a thin Japanese blade shape with German engineering in the steel treatment and handle. The limitation is that the figures a careful buyer wants, such as hardness, angle and weight, are absent.
Who it's for
Home cooks who value fine slicing and a thin blade will like the profile. Those who chop through bone or want a rugged blade for rough use should choose something thicker.
Pros and cons
- Thin Japanese blade profile
- Dry sharpened edge
- Triple riveted handle
- Corrosion resistant per the maker
- Weight, hardness and edge angle not listed
- Thin blade suits fine work only
Performance notes
A thin blade profile meets less resistance in the cut, so slicing is fine and clean. The ice hardening process raises the hardness of the steel for edge retention, and dry sharpening sets the factory edge. Rivets fix the handle scales to the tang so the grip stays attached under use.
