Miyabi Koya 9-Inch Bread Knife

Miyabi Koya 9-Inch Bread Knife. Give bread its own cutting tool. A bread knife works through the crust with a steady back-and-forth stroke, helping you portion loaves without relying on heavy downward pressure that compresses the crumb.

At a glance

• Bread-cutting profile

  Use a gentle sawing motion and allow the edge to work through the crust before completing the slice.

• FC61 steel

  Koya uses FC61 steel and a double ice-hardening treatment, with a plain blade surface.

• Light pakkawood handle

  Light-colored pakkawood and an octagonal shape give the handle its understated appearance.

• Room for a longer stroke

  The longer blade gives more cutting travel. Leave clear space around the board to use that length comfortably.

Find your fit

Allow room on both sides of the loaf for the blade’s stroke. A stable cutting board and a supported loaf matter as much as length; keep your guiding fingers above the cutting path. Our guides help you choose a bread knife for your loaf and pick a suitable cutting board.

Care and storage

Hand-wash and dry promptly. Store with the edge protected, and use a sharpening service or method suited to the serrations instead of treating the edge like a straight knife.
