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.

Very well made Chef knife. It is very well balanced and comfortable to use. Blade is sharp and thin which I prefer to make more accurate cuts. I highly recommend this knife for someone who is passionate about cooking.

Everything you would expect out of a chef’s knife with utmost attention to detail. The D-shaped handle fits comfortably even for use with my left hand. While razor sharp and thin behind the edge I don’t find it nearly as prone to chips as other similarly priced Gyutohs.
GREAT KNIFE

I bought this knife a year ago, and it immediately became my favorite! This knife is ridiculously sharp!!! Its well balanced, and the handle feels great in my hand. My favorite part however is the warranty. My blade for some reason developed some pitting along the edge. I logged into the website and filled out the warranty info, and they sent me a return authorization and then replaced the knife with a brand new one! I'm a Miyabi customer for life.
I love this knife

I received this knife for Christmas, and I am super excited. First off, it is beautiful. I have a few other Miyabi knives and some other nice ones, but this is by far the best looking knife in my block. I have used it a couple of times, and it has been great. Super sharp out of the box - mowing through veggies with ease. I look forward to continuing to use it more. I'll probably end up adding a Damascus Nakiri knife as well just because of how beautiful they are.
Very good knife, better than Shun

This was the first nice knife we got for the house hold. The Damascus pattern is absolutely gorgeous. Mosaic pin in the handle is a great touch. Do be careful with sharpness and also keep it dry after each use.,
Well made, very good quality
