  • Our take on the Miyabi Artisan 34073-203

    The Miyabi Artisan 34073-203 is an 8-inch chef's knife from Miyabi's Artisan line, made in Seki, Japan. It uses SG-2 powdered steel hardened to about 63 HRC, clad in softer stainless for toughness, with a hand-finished blade and a cocobolo wood handle. That hardness gives it a keen, long-lasting edge, but it is less forgiving than the softer German knives most home cooks own and needs hand washing. It suits cooks who want a light, sharp Japanese-style chef's knife and will treat it with care.

    Questions and answers

    Is this knife good for a first Japanese knife?
    Yes, if you are willing to hand wash it and avoid bones and frozen food. Its hard SG-2 steel is less forgiving than German knives, so it rewards careful use.
    Can I put it in the dishwasher?
    No. Hand wash and dry it right away. Heat and prolonged moisture can damage the wood handle and the edge.
    What is SG-2 steel?
    SG-2 is a powdered stainless steel from Takefu Special Steel. It takes a fine edge and is hardened to about 63 HRC here, which is harder than most Western kitchen knives.
    How does it compare with the Miyabi Kaizen?
    Both are 8-inch chef's knives with hard cores and wood handles. The Artisan uses SG-2 steel and a cocobolo handle, while the Kaizen uses VG-10 steel and a black micarta handle, so the choice comes down to steel and handle feel.
    What length is the blade?
    The blade is 8 inches (about 20 cm), the most common chef's knife size for home kitchens.
    Does it come with a sharpening stone or case?
    No. It is sold as a single knife. You will need your own whetstone or a professional sharpening service.
