The golden patina — signature of VG-10 steel

Like all authentic VG-10 Damascus steel, your MIYABEC knife may develop a slight golden patina when it comes into contact with acidic foods such as onions, citrus fruits, or strawberries. This is proof of the quality of your steel — a simple wash with soapy water is enough to restore its original shine. This natural reaction does not occur on low-grade steels.

Quick maintenance

• ✅ Hand wash with warm water and mild soap
• ✅ Dry immediately after each use
• ✅ Sharpen with a 1000/6000 grit stone at 15° every 3-6 months
• ✅ Store in the magnetic box or on a magnetic holder
• ❌ Never put in the dishwasher
• ❌ Do not cut bones or frozen foods

A perfect gift

Delivered in its black magnetic box with red foam, the MIYABEC Kiritsuke is the ideal gift for an amateur chef, a Japanese cuisine enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates quality tools. The premium presentation makes this knife an unforgettable experience from the moment the box is opened.
