Product range
Four Miraki cutting models are catalogued. The Fusion at $220 anchors the entry to the range. The Crystal Offset steps up to $400, the Pelican Cobalt to $475, and the Katana to $540. The Pelican Cobalt model name indicates a cobalt-added steel specification — a confirmed higher-hardness build in the Miraki range. The Katana at $540 is the flagship cut. The $220–$540 spread positions Miraki across both mid-range and upper-professional pricing within a single brand, which gives buyers a clear upgrade path as their needs evolve.
