Miyabi Tenmei knives celebrate Japanese craftsmanship, merging past and present with traditional methods and innovative techniques. The 49-layer Damascus-style blades are forged from high-performance carbide stainless steel for superior hardness and durability. Each one is hand honed using a classic Honbazuke process for scalpel-like sharpness, and ice-hardened with a patented technique for exceptional corrosion-resistance. The ergonomic D-shaped PakkaWood handles promote a secure grip and fatigue-free cutting. This set includes four essential knives, kitchen shears, a honing steel and a bamboo storage block.
