5.5-inch Chef’s Knife Compact, Fine Edge

Named after the Japanese word for “spark”, MIYABI Hibana boasts an original blade and bolster design, exceptional steel, and expert craftsmanship. The exquisite blades feature a striking 49-layer Damascus pattern, dramatically darkened through acid dipping – a process that both strengthens and protects the blade. They are forged from advanced FC61 fine carbide stainless steel that provides razor-like sharpness and unsurpassed corrosion and chip resistance.

The ergonomic, curved bolster encourages the professional pinch grip, enabling precision, safety and comfort. The triple-rivet handle perfectly complements the blade’s beauty, with a sleek black and brass spacer and center mosaic pin.

This 5.25-inch prep knife is a compact all-rounder knife for precision prep work in-hand and on the cutting board. It’s perfect for chopping herbs, slicing meat, and dicing vegetables. Ideal for smaller hands, chop with ease and confidence with this versatile fine edge blade.
