The Miyabi Hibana collection features a beautiful 49-ply Spark Damascus pattern on the blade that both strengthens and protects the FC61 steel core. The triple-riveted handle features a curved, ergonomic bolster for maximum comfort with the pinch grip. The elegant black and brass-colored spacers on the handle add to the beauty and weight of the knife, promoting stability in the hand and maneuverability at the tip. The Rocking Santoku knife supports Western circular movements and Asian chopping. The versatile blade is ideal for chopping vegetables, slicing meat and preparing fish.
