## Overview

The MIYABI Mizu SG2 Chef's Knife is an 8-inch premium kitchen tool crafted in Seki, Japan, featuring SG2 micro-carbide powder stainless steel with a hammered Damascus finish. Its Cryodur ice-hardening process achieves a 63 Rockwell Hardness rating, ensuring exceptional edge retention and flexibility. The blade is sharpened using the traditional Honbazuke method to a razor-sharp 12-degree double bevel edge. Complemented by a durable, ergonomic Micarta D-shaped handle with decorative accents, this knife offers professional-grade performance and balance for precise chopping, dicing, and slicing.

## Description

The Miyabi Mizu SG2 Chef's Knife is used for chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing meats and vegetables. The making of Miyabi Mizu knives start off with the Tsuchime method, consisting of 3-layers of SG2 steel with a hammered finish to allow food from sticking to the blade. Next, the Honbazuke process involves the Katana edge being sharpened with an ancient 3-step process, which sharpens the blade twice on whetstones, followed by mirror polishing on a leather wheel. This process was used over 1000 years ago for samurai swords to create the ultimate sharpness. The Criodur process gives the steel hardness for blade retention, flexibility, and highly corrosion resistant. To deliver the outstanding performance, the blade is hand-honed at the traditional Japanese blade angle of approximately 12 degrees on each side, which results in a scalpel-like sharpness. This outstanding performing blade is complimented by a stunning durable D-shaped Micarta handle, featuring a mosaic pin, red spacers, and a metal end-cap with logo that adds balance. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which handle is more comfortable: the Mizu or Artisan?**
A: Both are equally as comfortable, in my opinion. I enjoy both handles.....But I'll say this - if you have larger hands, you'll probably like the Artisan handle more. Smaller hands, you'll probably like the Mizu. Both are top quality knives.

**Q: is this knife double bevel? cause I'm a left hander.**
A: Yes, double bevel

**Q: What type of sharpener would you recommend to buy for this knife here in Amazon?**
A: I don't suggest anything but stones for this blade but if you need the one hand sharpening access, I would recommend the MAC roller. Not many high end knife companies making those devices, but they do...

**Q: Does the hammered pattern actually reduce slides sticking to the blade?**
A: Not really, more just for looks. But damn, they do look good......& work even better. These are THIN knives.
