A full-tang Gyuto “Miyabi,” crafted by swordsmith Hiromune Takaba.
Despite its remarkably thin 1.8mm blade, the knife displays a clear and vivid Damascus pattern—evidence of Takaba’s refined forging technique.
The multi-layered steel creates natural flowing patterns that shift subtly with changes in light and angle.
Its beauty comes not from ornamentation, but from the material itself and the craftsmanship behind it.
The handle features red cord wrapping over a full-tang base, offering a comfortable grip and balanced form.
Although the knife has a substantial size, its proportions remain harmonious, giving it an elegant presence whether held or displayed.
This piece stands out among Takaba’s works for its completeness and is highly suitable for collectors.
