Miyabi Black Magnetic Easel Knife Block, Set of 8

Miyabi Black knives combine exceptional Japanese craftsmanship with superior German engineering and stunning modern design. Each one features a core of micro-carbide powdered MC66 steel, ice-hardened to an impressive 66 on the Rockwell scale. It's protected by 132 layers of Damascus stainless steel that also create the blade's intricate floral pattern. The scalpel-like knife edges are hand sharpened using the traditional three-step Honbazuke method. Designed for comfort and control, the ergonomic D-shaped handles are made of black-leaf maple burl dyed to resemble black ash. This Japanese-made set includes five essential knives, a honing steel, kitchen shears and a bamboo storage easel.
