Miura Announces the New KM Baby Blade

Some designs are too pure to ever fade away. The Baby Blade is one of them. 

Born from Katsuhiro Miura’s lifelong pursuit of balance, feel, and the perfect strike, this compact iron began as a personal project — something he crafted for himself before sharing it with the world. 

It embodied his belief that the purest form of a blade should naturally return to square at impact, with the center of gravity positioned closer to the hosel to improve both consistency and workability. 

What started as Miura-san’s search for the ideal blade soon became a benchmark of craftsmanship, admired by players who understood that simplicity and precision often hold more power than size or complexity.

“In the hands of a skilled golfer, there is no shot these irons can’t hit with ease. Workability is paramount when selecting a blade. After all, why play a blade if all you want to do is hit it high and straight?”

At first glance, the Baby Blade can seem intimidating. It is 15% smaller than a traditional Miura blade, yet forged with the same mass as the MB-101. Every gram of steel is compressed into a more compact form, concentrating energy into a strike that is denser, sharper, and more precise. 

The compact head may look demanding, but it is this very design that allows the Baby Blade to deliver a level of feel and feedback few clubs can achieve. By preserving mass while reducing size, the Baby Blade turns restraint into strength — proof that smaller can not only hold its own but exceed expectations at the highest level.

“Golf is the ultimate feel game. What’s important to me is the steel. It’s important to understand what the steel can do to give the player the response he wants at impact. It’s what separates Miura from our competition.”

This new generation takes the design further. For the first time, the Baby Blade features the Y-Grind sole — a refinement introduced by Yoshitaka Miura, whose influence has shaped the brand alongside his father’s. 

The Y-Grind sharpens the leading edge and refines the sole geometry, allowing the blade to glide through turf with greater ease. It brings versatility and consistency, making the Baby Blade more playable while preserving its uncompromising character.

Though it shares lofts, lies, and head weights with the MB-101, the Baby Blade distinguishes itself in the details. Its smaller profile demands precision, while the Y-Grind enhances turf interaction for cleaner strikes. 

Where the MB-101 offers balance, the Baby Blade strips the design to its purest form — leaner, more exacting, engineered for golfers who demand ultimate control.

“You don’t need to be a single-digit player to use the Small Blades, just a serious one. They will especially help beginners who want to learn the feeling of a properly struck shot. The smaller size should not be an issue for golfers who have never experienced anything else.”

Every head bears Miura-san’s Hanko stamp. In Japan, the Hanko is more than a signature; it is a mark of authenticity, legacy, and personal approval. To place it on a club is not routine — it is reserved only for the most treasured designs, those that carry the very essence of Miura’s philosophy. 

By pressing his seal into the Baby Blade, Miura-san confirms that this design embodies his purest vision of what a blade should be: compact, uncompromising, and forged with absolute precision. 

The Hanko transforms each head into something greater than equipment. It is both a golf club and a piece of Miura history, stamped with the lifelong pursuit of perfection that defines the brand.

But the KM-Baby Blade is not for every golfer, and that is precisely the point. It is reserved for those who embrace the challenge — golfers who see clubs not as tools of forgiveness but as instruments of expression. 

It is for the shot-maker who relishes control over convenience, for the purist who values artistry above all else, for the player unafraid of the intimidation factor at address and willing to trust their swing. It is also for the serious golfer — not only the low-handicap elite — who wants to learn what a properly struck shot truly feels like.

To strike a Baby Blade flush is to experience golf in its purest form — demanding yet rewarding, punishing yet elevating. Like a fine watch or a cherished instrument, it reveals its beauty only with care. Compact and uncompromising, the KM-Baby Blade is Miura’s past, present, and future forged into one — offering nothing less than the purest strike in golf.
