Description
MIYABI moves one step closer to perfection with Kaizen II – Japanese for “improvement” or "change for the better." The Kaizen II collection boasts traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with the best hardening technology and beautiful modern design.The core, forged from resilient FC61 super steel, is protected by a stunning 48 layers of stainless steel. And Miyabi Kaizen II knives are as beautiful as they are functional. The blades’ gorgeous flower Damascus pattern is dramatically darkened through acid dipping. The double FRIODUR® ice-hardened blade makes for improved corrosion resistance and astonishing durability. Artisans hand-hone the blades using the venerable four-step Honbazuke method. This fine attention to detail translates into a work of art that is the ultimate in precision cutting.The blade is balanced by a substantial D-shaped handle made of black pakkawood. Effortless to hold, the classic Japanese “D”-shape handle offers a comfortable grip for stress-free cutting. This striking handle truly matches the caliber of the blade. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its highest quality cutlery production.

Bought this knife for daily use and it's amazing! It's so sharp and cuts through meat like a hot knife through butter. Incredible craftsmanship. What a steal.
No other knife compares…

What a beautiful knife! I am not a professional, but I love high-quality products. My wife on the other hand is a degreed professional and knows what she’s doing in the kitchen. This knife was a gift for her. When she first saw it, she flipped out, having always wanted a Miyabi. She quickly demonstrated its quality by slicing into some bread on the counter. With no serrated edges, the knife glided through the bread leaving a perfect slice. Absolutely amazing the difference between an average knife and a Miyabi. Worth every penny and more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have small hands so finding a knife that is comfortable, sharp, as well as good looking is close to impossible. I was gifted this knife and I'm excited for the meals it will help create.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this knife for my wife and I and we are absolutely in love with it. It’s excellent quality, cuts everything perfectly, and makes cooking prep so much easier. Totally recommend! Only caveat is that is a knife you MUST take care of. Sharpen as Miyabi suggests, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the weight and balance of the smaller chef knife. I’ve been working with it for three years now and feel like it does a better job and holds its sharpness better than the Shun knives I also work with.
Super sharp
