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.

Owners of Miyabi Artisan knives praise the out-of-box sharpness and the look of the cocobolo handles. The recurring complaints are chipping on the hard edge and the care the wood and steel demand.
