Know before you buy
The Miyabi Evolution features a precision-engineered serrated edge designed to grip crusty loaves and glide through them without tearing the soft interior. This specific geometry ensures clean slices even on delicate sourdough or artisan breads.
While the FC61 fine carbide steel is highly durable and holds an edge exceptionally well, it is a high-carbon stainless steel. To prevent corrosion and maintain the blade's integrity, you must hand wash and dry it immediately after use.
The handle is crafted from POM, a high-quality, moisture-resistant polymer, and features an ergonomic triple-rivet design. It is balanced to provide a secure, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue when slicing through multiple loaves.
Because this knife features a serrated edge, it is difficult to sharpen using standard flat whetstones or pull-through sharpeners. It is best to use a specialized serrated knife sharpener or have it professionally serviced to maintain the original profile.
While primarily designed for bread, the 9-inch serrated blade is also excellent for slicing through foods with tough skins and soft interiors, such as large tomatoes, citrus, or even delicate cakes.
