MIYABI strives for perfection with Kaizen - Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better." This line of knives combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern.The CRYODUR blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, icehardening treatment. Then, artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. This attention to detail translates into precision cutting for MIYABI Kaizen users.The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta. With a wood-like texture, the comfortable handle won't slip from your hand and acts as a moisture repellant. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

A paring knife that is a pleasure to work with. The Kaizen 4.5" blade is perfect for everyday cutting and peeling jobs in the kitchen. The Japanese VH10 steel remains sharp, and is easy to sharpen, allowing me to peel 20 pounds of potatoes without hand fatigue. The D shaped handle is comfortable and the Micarta handle is extremely durable, requiring limited maintenance, and is also slip resistant. This knife is a joy to work with and gets a great work out.

Longer Paring Knife

Love having the 4.5 length on the blade. Great for removing silver skin from pork and beef. Particularly useful when trimming fat from brisket. Just the right size to glide through the fat packet. Great for paring, and slicing vegetables. The shape of a mini chef's knife which makes it perfect for smaller cutting jobs in the kitchen. Japanese steel, really holds and edge, and the D shaped handle offers a comfortable grip.
Amazing knife

This is a very good paring knife. The slim D shaped handle is comfortable to hold while working in hand. The Micarta handle is very light. The blade is very sharp. The Super Steel construction stays sharp for a very long time and is easy to maintain. The Damascus style pattern is very unique and shows the Japanese craftsmanship and artistry put into this knife.
Stiff, Super-sharp & Tough!

Great Japanese carbide VG-10 (long known as Japanese fantastic knife steel) in a well-weighted, perfect paring knife. Micarta handle is nearly indestructible..

The Miyabi Kaizen paring knives are both elegant to use and beautiful to look at. The slim D-shaped handle tucks into the fingers confidently. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through delicate fruits and hearty peels effortlessly. That's because the 64 layers of molten steel applied over the VG10 steel core hold a tight edge. Less work for more precise cuts. Adding to the enjoyment of this phenomenal cutting tool is its beauty. The Damascus-style polishing showing the layers and the linen Micarta handle with finishing details combine to make using and owning this knife a joy.
