Our take on the Miyabi Artisan 34081-000

The Miyabi Artisan 34081-000 is a two-piece Japanese-made set pairing a 6-inch chef's knife with a paring knife. Both blades use SG-2 powder steel hardened to about 63 HRC, which takes a keener edge and holds it longer than the softer German steel in most Western kitchens. The trade-off is a thin, hard edge that chips if you twist it or cut through bone, and the cocobolo wood handles need hand washing. It suits cooks who want serious cutting performance and will treat the knives with care.

Best forHome cooks upgrading from German knivesAnyone who wants a chef's and paring knife in one boxPrecision work like slicing, dicing and peelingBuyers who prefer Japanese steel and hand-finished edges
Pros
  • SG-2 powder steel at roughly 63 HRC holds a sharp edge well
  • 6-inch chef's knife is nimble for smaller hands and tight counters
  • Paring knife covers peeling, trimming and small prep
  • Cocobolo handle with a mosaic pin looks and feels premium
  • Made in Seki, Japan, with a hand-honed edge
Cons
  • Hard, thin edge chips if twisted or used on bone and frozen food
  • Wood handles and hard steel mean hand wash only, never a dishwasher
  • 6-inch chef's knife is short for large batch chopping
  • No bread knife or utility knife in the set
  • Needs honing and occasional sharpening with a fine stone or ceramic rod

Questions and answers

Is the Miyabi Artisan set worth it over a single chef's knife?
If you also need a paring knife, the set covers most everyday prep in one purchase. If you mostly chop large volumes, a single 8-inch chef's knife from the same line may serve you better.
Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?
No. The wood handle and hard SG-2 steel should be washed by hand and dried right away to protect the edge and the wood.
How does SG-2 steel compare with VG-10?
SG-2 is a powder steel that generally reaches higher hardness and holds an edge longer than VG-10, but it is less forgiving of abuse.
What is included in the box?
A 6-inch chef's knife and a paring knife, both with cocobolo wood handles.
Do these knives chip easily?
The edge is hard and thin, so it can chip if you twist it, cut frozen food or hit bone. Use a wood or soft plastic board and avoid lateral force.
How should I sharpen them?
Hone lightly with a fine ceramic rod and sharpen on a whetstone around 1000 to 3000 grit. Avoid pull-through sharpeners, which remove too much hard steel.
Where is the Miyabi Artisan 34081-000 cheapest?
At Sabavi Home, for $299.99, as of our latest check.
