MIYABI KNIVES

Miyabi Knives are the chimera of fine cutlery, the product of German engineering and Japanese craftsmanship. The Miyabi brand was born in 2004 when Zwilling, the renowned German knifemakers, acquired a factory in Seki City, the Japanese capital of sword and knife production. Each Miyabi knife is crafted by skilled artisans who use state-of-the-art technology and premium materials in a process that takes over 100 steps and 42 days per knife.
