Our take on the Miyabi Artisan 7 Piece Knife Block Set

The Miyabi Artisan 7-piece set pairs SG2 micro-carbide powder steel blades hardened to Rockwell 63 with D-shaped cocobolo pakkawood handles and a hand-hammered tsuchime finish. The block holds a chef's knife, santoku, bread knife, paring knife, honing steel and shears. It is a high-end Japanese set built for precise slicing rather than heavy chopping. The best new price is $849.95 at Williams-Sonoma as of November 4, 2026, with three stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Miyabi Artisan 7-piece set worth it?
If you want one sharp, long-lasting Japanese set that covers most kitchen tasks, yes. At $849.95 at Williams-Sonoma as of November 4, 2026, it costs more than most home sets but the SG2 steel and finish justify it for frequent cooks.
How does it compare with the Miyabi Kaizen or Birchwood lines?
Artisan uses SG2 powder steel at Rockwell 63 with a hammered finish and cocobolo handles. Kaizen uses VG10 steel at about Rockwell 60-61, and Birchwood uses SG2 with a different handle. Artisan sits in the middle-upper tier.
Can I cut bones or frozen food with these knives?
No. The hard, thin katana edge is made for precise cuts and can chip on bones, frozen food or hard squash stems. Use a cleaver or heavier knife for those jobs.
Are the knives dishwasher safe?
No. Hand wash and dry them promptly. Dishwasher heat and detergent can damage the wood handles and the edge.
What is included in the set?
An 8-inch chef's knife, santoku, bread knife, paring knife, 9-inch honing steel, kitchen shears and a knife block.
