The Miyabi brand, Fusion line, is one of the top Miyabi lines and is created together with chef Masaharu Morimoto . In his cooking chef Morimoto blends Japanese cooking with western styles to create internationally acclaimed masterpieces. In this tradition the Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Miyabi brand has partnered up with him to create some of the greatest knives you can buy.

For the Fusion line of knives Miyabi mixes 3 of the most important ingredients to create superb knives, Japanese blade types, Western ergonomics and super steel. Also in order to maintain the tradition all knives are made in Seki, Japan which is the capital of Japanese knife making.

The Fusion line blades are made out of extremely hard VG10 super steel. This type of steel is very popular with Japanese knives and it is produced in Japan. This is one of the highest qualities of stainless steel on the market today. Even the name suggest this as the “G” in VG-10 stands for “gold standard”. This steel is able to hold a edge for a extended period of time and can withstand rust. Thus very popular with chefs all over the world. The VG10 is a high carbon stainless steel even though the carbon content of the material is somewhat small. Basically the VG-10 contains approximately 1% Carbon, 1% Molybednum, 15% Chromium, 2% Vanadium and 1.5% Cobalt. The combination of all these elements give the material its outstanding properties. It holds an edge for a very long time, the durability of the material and its rust and stain resistant properties. Basically all you want from a great kitchen knife that will last you a lifetime.

The Fusion line VG10 super steel blade core is encased in a beautiful 64 layer Damascus pattern which makes it just stunning. The blades shape Maintains Japanese tradition Being thin and super sharp. The edge is hand honed at a 9.5 to 12 degree angle using the traditional Japanese “Honbazuke” process. This is a 3 step process which ensures you end up with a scalpel like edge. First the blade is ground to shape on a rotating stone. Then it is finely sharpened on a horizontal rotating stone. And finally it is polished on a leather belt in order for you to receive the sharpest knife possible.

The blades are hardened using the Zwilling patented CRYODUR process through which the steel of the knives is heated in specially designed ovens. Then it is chilled at room temperature before it is frozen at -196 degrees celsius (-384 degree Fahrenheit). This process ensures you receive a blade that has a hardness of 60 on the rockwell scale.

The Handle of the Fusion knives is western in style. This fact makes them very comfortable when used for a extended period of time. The handle material is made out of POM (Polyoxymethylene) which is one of the hardest plastics produced. It is very resistant to scratches or damage and does not get affected by water like a wooden handle could. The POM material is strongly fixed in place by 3 stainless steel rivets. The shape of the handle is traditionally western in style and is thicker at the end in order to prevent slipping.
