The Miyabi Hibana 800DP is an 8-inch chef's knife built in Seki, Japan, with an FC61 fine-carbide steel core wrapped in 49 layers of Damascus-patterned steel. It uses a hand-honed three-step Honbazuke edge at a very acute 9.5° to 12° per side, which makes it noticeably sharper out of the box than most Western-pattern chef's knives. The curved bolster supports a pinch grip, and the triple-riveted handle with brass spacer and mosaic pin gives it a heavier, more traditional Western feel than Miyabi's wa-handled lines. It suits cooks who want a thin, hard, very sharp blade and will treat it with care; it is not a knife for bones, frozen food or the dishwasher.
