The Shikisai Miyako utility knife is ideal for precise cutting tasks. Made from ultra-sharp Damascus steel, it has a slim profile and pointed tip. It’s typically used for slicing vegetables and preparing meat and fish.

Reach for this knife to julienne carrots or carve fine slices of beef or chicken for a stir fry. It’s great for cutting fatty and starchy foods as they won’t stick to the narrow blade.

The blade is made from 33 layers of Damascus steel with an AUS8 steel core. This combination gives you a knife that is razor-sharp and extremely strong. Damascus steel knives are a popular choice in professional kitchens. They are coveted for their durability and ability to retain their edge.

The D-shaped handle offers superior comfort and balance. It’s made from laminated hardwood with a stainless steel bolster and end cap.

Shikisai Miyako knives are made in Japan at a small, family-run factory. They offer premium performance at an accessible price point.
