Miyabi Kaizen Steak Knife

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Pakkawood handles and the precision of the hand-honed blades, you should always hand wash and dry them immediately after use.

FC61 is a fine carbide stainless steel that allows for a higher Rockwell hardness of 61. This results in a blade that holds a sharper edge for much longer than standard kitchen knives, providing a smoother, cleaner cut through proteins.

While the blades are corrosion-resistant due to the FRIODURx2 ice-hardening process, they are high-carbon steel. To prevent rust, ensure the knives are kept clean and dry, and avoid leaving them in standing water or acidic environments.

The set includes a protective storage case, which is the best way to keep the blades safe and sharp when not in use. Storing them in the provided case prevents the edges from dulling against other utensils in a drawer.

These knives feature a straight-edged, plain blade profile. This design is preferred by many for steak knives because it slices cleanly through meat fibers rather than tearing them, resulting in a more refined dining experience.

Pakkawood is a durable, moisture-resistant composite that offers a warm, natural feel in the hand. The textured design provides a secure, comfortable grip that remains stable even during extended use at the dinner table.
