Miyabi Morimoto Knives Red 600S Line Features

The very well known, international chef, Morimoto has collaborated with the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Miyabi brand in order to create a personalized line of knives that that mixes Western styles with Japanese. The MIYABI Red 600S Morimoto Edition blends the traditional sharpness of Japanese blades with the comfortable and easy to care for Western style knives.

The steel used in the construction of the blades is the classic Zwilling Special, high-carbon German stainless steel that is specifically produced for Henckels. The special steel is a very well balanced mixture of chrome and carbon made for extended edge retention and corrosion resistance. The hardening process of the MIYABI Red 600S Morimoto Edition blades is done through the Zwilling patented FRIODUR technology which is done through ice hardening of the blades. This ensures that the blades are extra hard, have a great edge retention and are flexible. At a 57 on the Rockwell scale you can be sure your knives will stay hard for a long time.

Because the blades have a high edge retention and are corrosion resistant, means that you have to spend less time sharpening and maintaining your blade. Thus more time to get on cooking. The MIYABI Red Morimoto Edition are durable and easy to maintain so that beginner cooks getting used Japanese style knives have a easy time adjusting to them.

All these factors which reflect the comfort of using a western style knife are blended with the sharpness and tradition of knives made in Seki, the capital of knife making in Japan. The blades are Hand-honed using a three step process. This is called the Honbazuke process in which the knives are sharpened to a 9.5 to 12 degree edge angle. Also the blades have a thin profile giving the knives a even more authentic feel. The handles are fixed in place with three strong rivets and are made from glass-bead-enhanced POM.
