Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary 7in Santoku Knife 1033755

The Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary 7-inch Santoku Knife is a masterful blend of artistry, precision, and functionality, designed for chefs and home cooks who demand the finest in kitchen tools. Part of the limited-edition Iki collection, this knife celebrates the Year of Miyabi with inspiration drawn from the serene landscapes of Seki, Japan, where moonlight dances across the water of nearby lakes. Every element of this knife has been thoughtfully crafted to combine elegance with uncompromising performance.

At its core, the blade is constructed from 49 layers of high-carbon MC66 powder steel, forming the striking “Moonlight” Damascus pattern. The High-carbon MC66 Powder Steel is an ultra-hard ZDP-189 steel. This layered construction not only delivers a visually stunning finish but also enhances strength, flexibility, and edge retention. The blade is sharpened using the traditional Honbazuke method, resulting in an ultra-sharp fine edge capable of precision slicing, dicing, and chopping. The artfully carved Shinogi grind at the tip provides an even sharper silhouette for delicate tasks, allowing for clean, controlled cuts with minimal effort.

The handle is equally remarkable. Crafted from black maple burl, each handle is individually shaped to perfectly complement the specific blade type, providing optimal balance and ergonomics. The gentle curves of the handle are inspired by cascading lakes, creating a natural, comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during extended use. The concealed tang design ensures both durability and seamless integration between handle and blade, while the brown-black coloration adds an elegant, sophisticated touch.

Measuring 12.6 inches overall with a 7.09-inch blade, this Santoku offers the perfect combination of reach and control. Its slightly slimmer handle and broader blade design make it ideal for chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and preparing fish with precision and ease. Weighing just 0.44 pounds, it feels balanced in hand, giving users full command over every cut without sacrificing comfort or stability.

Crafted in Japan by master artisans, the Henckels Miyabi Iki Anniversary 7-inch Santoku Knife is a true testament to Miyabi’s commitment to excellence. It is a knife that excels in performance, commands attention with its exquisite design, and delivers a cutting experience that’s as precise as it is beautiful. Perfect for professional chefs, dedicated home cooks, or collectors of fine cutlery, this knife will elevate any kitchen.
