Professional Opinion
Cobalt alloy construction is chosen for edge retention, so the Miyagi holds its sharpness longer between sharpenings. The quarter-inch size steps, 5.25, 5.75, 6.25 and 6.75, let you dial in a length that matches your hand and technique precisely. Offset handle, convex edge, around $856.
