Miyabi Hibana 4-Piece Magnetic Easel Knife Block Set

Hibana means “spark” in Japanese, and this collection announces itself at every glance. The Miyabi Hibana 4-Piece Magnetic Easel Knife Block Set brings together three essential blades displayed on a magnetic bamboo easel that keeps your knives protected and within reach. The acutely honed edge moves through proteins, produce and herbs with a lightness that makes each task feel less like effort and more like intention, whether you’re breaking down a whole fish or slicing stone fruit for a summer tart.

Miyabi is the Zwilling brand dedicated entirely to the art of Japanese knife making, born from Zwilling’s 2004 acquisition of a leading manufacturer in Seki City, Japan, the historic capital of Japanese blade craft. In Japanese culture, perfection is a matter of attitude, and Miyabi embodies Kaizen, the constant pursuit of improvement. It takes over 100 steps and 42 days to craft a single Miyabi knife, each one passing through the hands of skilled artisans before it reaches yours.
