Kanetsugu Miyabi Issin is a series of kitchen knives with a three-layer construction made using the SAN-MAI technique. This means that the core is made of hard AUS-8 high-carbon steel, which is double bevel, with soft SUS-410 steel. Thanks to this technique, the knives are completely stainless, more flexible, and easy to maintain.

During the heat treatment process, these knives are given a high Rockwell hardness rating of 57-58, which allows them to retain their sharpness for a long time.

The handle is made of natural rosewood, which, when properly impregnated, remains resistant to moisture and temperature. Knives from the Miyabi Issin series offer excellent value for money; they are recommended for home cooks and cooking enthusiasts who are just starting their adventure with Japanese knives.
