The Authentic Japanese Chef Knife – Miyako line type is another line of
knives in the line of excellent kitchen knives of Japanny.com. This lovely
kitchen knife line is made almost to perfection in the tradition of Japanese
swordmaking. For a time in the history of Japan, the carrying of swords was
banned in the attempt to modernize the country. Swordmaking groups therefore
began to turn their attention to the manufacture of kitchen knives and other
cutting knives while swordmaking itself was put on hold back then. As the name
implies, the knife is called “MIyako” because it is beautiful.
The Authentic Japanese Chef Knife – Miyako is a series line in the company’s

Damascus steel 33 layer knives. This means that made out of high carbon stain
resistant alloy, and as the line is a series, there are many variants of this
line. They all have double-edged blades and are made out of Damascus steel.
Damascus steel is noted for being used in Middle Eastern swords, and just as in
the authentic Japanese knife – Miyako line, there are unique and special
patterns of banding and mottling that makes one think about flowing water.
These blades are very tough, and do not shatter easily and can be sharpened to
a very sharp and resilient blade edge. Legend has it from the ancient times
that Damascus steel is sharp enough to cut hair that falls across the blade,
and is also sharp enough to cut through rifle barrels. Therefore one can be assured of the excellent
and consistent quality of the blade when utilized even by a newbie cook in the
kitchen. Precautions must be taken, such as avoiding cutting frozen items such
