Miyabi Evolution Rocking Santoku

While a traditional Santoku has a flatter edge for straight chopping, this rocking version features a more pronounced curve. This design allows you to use a rocking motion for mincing herbs and garlic, offering the versatility of a chef's knife while maintaining the precision of a Japanese blade.

The FC61 fine carbide steel is exceptionally hard, which means it holds a sharp edge for a long time. While it requires less frequent sharpening, you should use a high-quality whetstone or a professional-grade sharpening system to maintain the edge, as standard pull-through sharpeners may damage the blade.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can dull the blade and damage the POM handle, so we recommend hand-washing and drying it immediately after use.

The handle is made from POM, a durable synthetic material, and features an ergonomic, triple-riveted design. It is contoured to provide a secure, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue, making it well-suited for extended periods of chopping or dicing.

No, this knife does not include a sheath or storage block. Because the blade is exceptionally sharp, we recommend storing it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or using a blade guard to protect the edge and prevent accidental cuts.

The FRIODURx2 double ice-hardening process transforms the steel's molecular structure to increase its hardness and corrosion resistance. This results in a blade that is not only incredibly sharp but also remarkably durable and resistant to chipping during regular kitchen tasks.
