Product detailed description
Japanese Utility Knife 150 mm Kanetsugu Miyabi Isshin
Utility 150 mm Kanetsugu Miyabi Isshin is a lightweight and precise Japanese multi-purpose kitchen knife suitable for fruits, vegetables, herbs, cheeses, smaller cuts of meat, sandwich preparation, and detailed kitchen tasks. Thanks to its blade length of 150 mm, it offers excellent maneuverability where a large chef's knife would be unnecessarily robust.
Kanetsugu Miyabi Isshin Utility 150 mm is a practical all-purpose knife for daily use in both home and professional kitchens. It is perfectly suited for slicing fruits and vegetables without crushing them, dicing smaller ingredients, preparing cheeses, herbs, sandwiches, as well as finer work with meat or fish.
The Utility type represents a compact, multi-purpose knife bridging the gap between a small paring knife and a larger chef's knife like a Gyuto. With a longer blade than paring knives and better control than a large chef's knife, it is ideal for quick and precise everyday cutting.
Knives from the Kanetsugu Miyabi Isshin series are manufactured using the traditional SAN-MAI method, featuring a three-layer blade construction. A hard core made of AUS-8 stainless steel is sandwiched between two layers of SUS-410 stainless steel. Thanks to this combination, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, is easy to maintain, and sharpens exceptionally well on whetstones.
The ergonomic handle made of natural rosewood is securely connected to the blade with double riveting. Thanks to its low weight of just 55 g, the knife feels extremely light and agile in the hand, allowing for precise work without causing hand fatigue.
The Miyabi Isshin series is suitable for professional chefs as well as home cooking enthusiasts who want to discover the world of high-quality Japanese kitchen knives. The manufacturer, Seki Kanetsugu, comes from Seki City, Japan, a region with a long-standing tradition of crafting blades and kitchen knives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Never wash the knife in a dishwasher. Wash it by hand after use and dry it immediately.
Do not use the knife as a lever and do not bend the blade. The knife is intended exclusively for slicing and cutting.
Protect the blade and edge from drops, impacts, and contact with hard materials.
If you will not be using the knife for a long time, wipe it lightly with oil and wrap it in a cloth or newspaper.

Please Note
Each knife is crafted from natural materials. Every piece of steel and wood is unique, meaning the final appearance of the knife may vary slightly from the product photo. The knife you receive will be of the exact same high quality and meticulously processed standard.
Sharpening a Kitchen Knife
To preserve maximum sharpness, we recommend maintaining your Japanese kitchen knife regularly using premium water whetstones, diamond sharpening stones, honing steels, and leather strops. Proper edge care significantly extends the lifespan of the knife, enhances cutting comfort, and helps retain the precise cutting properties of the blade.
Water whetstones are among the gentlest and most effective ways to sharpen Japanese knives. Diamond sharpening stones stand out due to their high efficiency and rapid material removal. Honing steels help keep the edge sharp for longer between full sharpening sessions, and leather strops serve to finely polish the apex of the edge.
If you are not confident in your sharpening skills, please contact us. We will professionally sharpen your knives according to your individual preferences. We also regularly host knife sharpening courses, where we teach you the proper sharpening and maintenance techniques for Japanese knives.

Cleaning a Kitchen Knife
After each use, wash the knife by hand with lukewarm water, dry it with a soft cloth, and store it in a safe place. Residues from aggressive ingredients can cause rust-like spots on the surface of the blade. This does not always mean corrosion of the blade itself, but often simply stuck particles from food or the surrounding environment. To remove them, you can use a fine paste made of baking soda mixed with a little water and an old wine cork.

Kanetsugu Seki Japan – The tradition of Japanese swords in modern cuisine
Kanetsugu Seki Japan is a traditional Japanese knife brand originating in the city of Seki, which is considered the centre of Japanese sword making. Its history dates back to the 14th century, when famous samurai swords were manufactured here. It is this sword-making tradition that the Kanetsugu brand has brought to the world of kitchen knives. The company was officially founded in 1918 by master craftsman Matsujiro Kanetsugu, who continued the legacy of the legendary 14th-century swordsmith Kanetsugu Naoe. Now in its fourth generation, the modern company combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production technologies, while still priding itself on hand sharpening, polishing and precision workmanship.
