Miyabi Japanese Knives: aesthetic perfection in every Japanese knife

Miyabi is one of the oldest Japanese aesthetic ideals. It, founded on the concepts of elegance and refinement, required the elimination of richness and crudeness in order to achieve maximum grace.

Centuries later, this ideal survives in this brand of Japanese knives , forged precisely according to the watchwords "purity, grace and elegance". Miyabi is a brand born in Seki, the ancient world capital of sword forging, and proceeds in the forging of each blade with the awareness and experience that only seven centuries of tradition can ensure. Strictly 100 steps are used to make each Japanese knife, spread over 42 days in which a piece of raw steel becomes an example of excellence in the world of cutlery.
