Miyabi Evolution knives are unique in that they are a Japanese blade with a very western styled handle.  This means if you are used to a western handle but want to experiment with the thinner Japanese style blade you will find these very comfortable.  Made from FC61 steel which has superior hardness to other types of steel these will be able to hold their razor sharp edge use after use.  Zwilling has a patented ice hardening process that ensures all their knives, even these thin Japanese blades, are chip and crack resistant.
