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.

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.

Awesome knife
I bought this as a gift for my son in law. He loves to cook and figured he needed a good knife to use in the kitchen. He absolutely loves it. The weight and balance are spot on. The sharpness and performance is phenomenal. I'm thinking that I may need to purchase one for myself

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!

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 .

Does the evolution chef knife come with casing or sheaths? I tend to carry my knives to work in a case in my backpacks and looking forward to this purchase
Our knives do not include sheaths unless noted in the listing.

What bevel angle 15 or 20 degrees should I use to sharpen this knife? Or should I purchase a different Degree sharpener?
Miyabi and other Japanese-style knives should be sharpened to 10-12° per side.

I am using my friends Miyabi and love it. The number on the blade is 34021-200 (8”). I see your selling the 203. What is the difference?
There is no difference. -203 is a newer item number for the same knife.

What is the hardness of the blade on the miyabi evolution knives?
FC61 is renamed by zwilling it is Sandvik 13C26 Swedish steel.it has a carbon mass content of .68, chromium of 13.00, manganese of .70, phosphorus of .025 and silicon of .40 A very good steel but confusing since they dont use the original names for steel on their line of knives. It is a fine carbide steel from them that can be hardened up to 62 on the rockwell scale.
