8-inch, Chef’s Knife

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 8-inch chef’s knife is perfect for all kitchen tasks. Mince shallots, dice apples, slice pork tenderloin, and chop potatoes confidently and effortlessly with this versatile blade.
