Overview
A cook who wants a small Japanese paring knife with a dressed up handle gets this Miyabi Koh, made in Seki from fine carbide steel and finished with a katana edge and an octagon shaped Pakkawood handle.
Reason to buy is the steel hardness and hand finishing in a small knife, plus a handle shaped for pull cuts and rocking. The limitation is a missing edge angle and a stamped build for buyers who expect forged.
Who it's for
Cooks who peel, trim and cut small items with care will use the short blade, and the handle is described as supporting both chopping and rocking motions. Those who want forged construction or a larger knife should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- High hardness fine carbide steel
- Hand honed blade
- Katana edge finish
- Pakkawood handle with mosaic pin
- Edge angle not listed
- Stamped rather than forged
- Short blade for larger tasks
Performance notes
High hardness steel resists chipping and wear at the edge, and ice hardening is credited with durability and sharpness. The hand honed edge carries a katana style finish. The octagon handle allows both a chopping grip and a rocking motion.
