Kanetsugu Miyabi Issin is a series of kitchen knives with a three-layer construction, which are made in the SAN-MAI technique. This means that the core is made of hard high-carbon AUS-8 steel, which has been clad on both sides with soft SUS-410 steel. Thanks to the use of such a technique, the knives are completely stainless, more flexible, and easy to maintain. In the hardening process, these knives are given a high hardness of 57-58 on the Rockwell scale, thanks to which they hold their sharpness for a long time. The handle is made of natural rosewood, which, when properly impregnated, remains resistant to moisture and temperature. The knives from the Miyabi Issin series offer an excellent price-to-quality ratio; they are recommended for home cooks and cooking enthusiasts who are just starting their adventure with Japanese knives. Seki Kanetsugu is a manufacturer from the city of Seki in Japan, which is famous for producing kitchen knives. The company was founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu, a famous maker of samurai swords (1336-1392).
