Miyabi Artisan SG2 2 Piece Starter Knife Set

These knives are some of the nicest pieces of touched. They are light weight and razor sharp. I have not had them long enough to comment on how well they hold an edge but so far so good.

It feels well-balanced and has great adhesion. Food releases from it well, and it feels great in the hand

The knives are so sharp and pretty. They hold well in the hand and everyone is so jealous of them.

These two essential knives are the most used in the kitchen. I truly appreciate the Artisan handles, their bellied design helps make using the knife so much more comfortable. And the hammered steel is so strong and stays sharp for a tremendously long time.

Japanese cutlery set with hammered finished blade and rosewood handle. The blade's surface prevents food from sticking and has an acute edge angle for scalpel-like sharpness. Handle shape is incredibly comfortable providing effortless cutting. Excellent value!

I bought this knife set to add to our current Miyabi set. These knives have beautiful, sharp blades and the handles are ergonomically comfortable. The small bump on the handle makes it easy to grip the handle, while the smooth finish gives it a nice feel while using it. I, very pleased with this purchase.

If you wanted to dip your hands into the Japanese knife world this would be the perfect starter kit. The blade is made from a SG2 core with an additional 32 layers on each side protecting the center. A 6"chefs knife can do anything in a kitchen, and the paring knife is great additional piece.

A parer and a chef knife will take care of most of your cutting, and a 6" chef knife is preferred by many who consider the 8" chef too large to handle. Artisan is a thing of beauty! The first attraction for me is the "hammered" blade; it's such a unique finish but it's also going to help keep food from sticking to the blade. The SG2 steel is very hard which guarantees it will have amazing edge retention. It also boasts that crazy sharp Asian edge angle. The rosewood handle has a nice round curve which fits very comfortably in your hand. If you want an authentic Japanese knife, end your search with Miyabi. They are made and sold in Japan as the premium knife.

Beautiful knives, but The handles didn't quite fit my hand.
