Summary
Miyabi moves one step closer to perfection with Kaizen II cutlery. Kaizen II knives combine traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the best German blade-hardening technology and stunning modern design. A core of FC61 fine carbide steel is embedded within 48 layers of Damascus stainless steel, creating the blade's gorgeous floral pattern. This handcrafted chef's knife is both a work of art and the ultimate in precision sharpness.
- Blade is forged from Miyabi's proprietary FC61 super steel and protected by 48-layer Damascus stainless steel in a beautiful, acid-dipped floral pattern.
- Authentic, thin Japanese blade profile for lightweight handling and precision control.
- Fine carbide distribution creates a razor-sharp and durable blade with 61 Rockwell hardness.
- Double ice-hardened FRIODUR® blade offers remarkable durability, corrosion resistance and edge retention.
- Blade is hand-honed using the historic Honbazuke method to an exceptionally sharp 9.5 to 12 degree angle.
- Black PakkaWood handle with mosaic pin and Miyabi logo end cap.
- Ergonomic Japanese D-shaped handle design is effortless to hold.

Outstanding

I’ve never seen my husband happier than when using this. Light weigh and exceptional blade. We plan to get the entire set.

Gorgeous and a pleasure to use

I'm an amateur chef who takes extra pleasure in using high-quality utensils. I have some very nice, durable knives but decided to splurge and buy more first Japanese-inspired utility knife. This is just gorgeous, feels amazing in the hand is super-sharp. I seek excuses to us it!

Stunning to behold and hold

This is my first Japanese-made knife and…wow. I have a nice collection of high-quality knives that will remain great for daily use, but I’m going to seek reasons to pull out the Miyabi. It’s gorgeous, sharp as promised, and perfectly balanced. A joy to hold and use.

Disappointed

For such a reputable company that isn’t cheap, it was very disappointing to not only order a personalized knife, then to have to return it before you would send the correct one. This was a gift that was ruined because of your error and then I had to return the knife that was wrong and wait for the next knife to come. Not only that but I had to pay for shipping as well. Again – your error.

Amazing knife

This is my first nice knife and it blows my mind. The packaging is very nice and the knife is even nicer. It feels natural in your hand and is very light, but extremely sharp. It’s a beautiful piece and I am so excited to use it.

Great gift for the husband!

Beautiful knife! I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift and he loves it. The design is very nice with a comfortable handle and sharp blade! It’s very well designed and well balanced in the hand, so its very comfortable to hold. Doesn’t feel cheap and overall good build.
