A rounded spine, heel, and bolster, plus nine hand-finishing steps ensure these handles have unsurpassed ergonomics.

Beautifully crafted hybrid.
This set of knives is suits someone who likes a little heavier handle and the smooth slicing of a Japanese blade. It really does nestle into the fingers while it glides through whatever you are cutting.
The 8-inch chef's knife is the go-to knife for most professionals. Designed to handle most of your prep needs, this has a wide arc to the blade to assist in the rocking motion when cutting. With the flatter part of the blade reserved for dicing and mincing.
The 6-inch chef is a good alternative if you prefer a smaller knife to work with. The 9.5-inch chef is a great size for working with pastry, meats and vegs; it is remarkably nimble.

My Favorite
I am fortunate to have several 8" Chef knives to choose to use and this is the one I rely on and consistantly pick up.
I like that it feels super secure and familar in my hand. It has a little more weight to it then other Japanese knifes yet has a very narrow edge to give me those perfect thin slices.
I recommend this knife for cooks that are wanting to try out a Japanese knife but have always used Western style knives. The transistion is easy and the results are satifying.
Easy to care for, comfortable and well weighted, stays sharp through many uses and is easy to care for.

Incredibly Sharp
I've always had German knives because I love the way they feel in my hand and how durable they are. But sometimes you need a sharper knife for fine chopping and fish, and that's were the Japanese knife comes into play. It's much thinner and has a smaller edge but in the past, that could make it easy to chip. Evolution is made from an incredible new steel, FC61, that is very durable and chip resistant. It's made and sold in Japan as a premiuim knife which tells me it's authentic.

You’ll never need another knife
This knife is one of the best knife’s I’ve ever owned, highly recommend, the edge of the blade hold up very nicely and it will maintain its sharpness for a while, it’s very well balanced, it’s neither blade nor handle heavy, it’s very versatile, I use it at work for a lot of my prep work with many fruits or vegetables, and sometimes during service to cut certain meats or fish. And with the warranty that comes with the knife along side it’s durability, I have no worries about the knife being damaged. Overall I definitely recommend this knife for any professional cook or chef out there looking for that one good knife

This knife is made from FC61 fine carbide steel and ice-hardened twice which translates to exceptional durability, cutting edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The blade is dry sharpened creating a scalpel-like sharpness. I love the width on this blade and often turn it over to use a scraper so my prep work is uninterrupted .

Just the right size chef knife!
Evolution knife is exceptionally sharp, a medium-size and versatile knife. This knife size is not daunting for me and more comfortable in my hand better. It is slightly bigger than the prep knife. It is enjoyable to cut and slice everything such as fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, butter, cheese and even bread. Evolution knife is made from revolutionary fine carbide FC61 steel, these knives offer the signature sharpness for which Japanese knives are known. Hand washing is recommended.

Cuts everything like butter
My boyfriend bought this beauty for me to celebrate my first job in the food industry. This is the first chef knife I’ve owned, so I cannot offer a comparison against another brand. What I can say is that it chops freshly washed herbs effortlessly, cuts through pineapple like nbd, and can slice through a piece of paper like it’s butter. It should be called a butter knife because everything it touches turns to butter. The balance and lightweight feel of it is counterintuitive to how well it handles heavy duty chopping. I love this knife!! It’s a game changer for getting dinner to the table faster.

The Miyabi line of knives, and this one included, are not only works of art, but they are high performace knives that are constructed to last. With super steels, FC61in the Evolution, and special ice-hardening prossess, they have more acute blade angles (read sharper) and enough thin blade profiles, they are extremely durable. Made in Japan by artisans who have had their craft handed down from genertion to genration, these are to collect and to use!
