Miyabi by Zwilling 4000FCV2: subtle in style, big in capacity

The Miyabi KOYA 4000FCV2 series exudes the calm, refined character for which Japanese knives are so highly valued. Clean lines, clear shapes and no unnecessary frills. You notice it as soon as you start cutting: the knife does exactly what it should and moves smoothly through vegetables, fish or meat. The design may appear modest, but if you look a little closer, you will see the beautiful details that give the knife its unique appearance. Consider the polished blade with sandblasted katana edge and hand-ground cutting edge, the rounded edges that feel comfortable, and the subtle mosaic pin that gives the knife just that little bit of character.

Features of the Miyabi 4000FC series

Miyabi KOYA 4000FCV2: Honbazuke hand-ground blade

The blade is made of FC61 stainless steel, a type of steel known for its fine structure and reliable sharpness retention. The blade is hardened to 61 HRC using the FRIODURx2 method, in which the steel is ice-hardened twice, making it harder, more wear-resistant and better able to withstand intensive use. The blade is then sharpened by hand using the Honbazuke method, which results in a razor-sharp edge that you will notice when the knife glides through a tomato as if it were nothing. The spine and heel of the blade are nicely rounded. This may not sound particularly fancy, but in the kitchen, you immediately notice how pleasant it is to use when cutting for extended periods.

Miyabi KOYA 4000FCV2 pakkawood handle

The handle is made of sturdy pakka wood and feels comfortable to hold. The octagonal shape fits surprisingly naturally in your hand, without you having to get used to it or spend ages searching for the right grip. The knife remains easy to control, even when cutting for longer periods or working with wet hands. The light brown colour of the wood has a beautiful, calm appearance that fits well with the understated design of the series. The mosaic pin is a subtle detail that adds a little extra character to the whole, without dominating.
