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.

This is the 2nd one of these knives that I have purchased. The first one was as a gift for an accomplished home cook. I decided that after some thought, that I would treat myself to the knife as well. I love the sharpness of the blade as well as the balance and hand of the knife.
Very useful and great knife

Sharp and reliable, but the shape isn't my favorite for chopping fast.

Thank you for your review and for your feedback. Our Kaizen II Nakiri’s long lean Blade is balanced by a substantial D-shaped handle that is great for slicing veggies, fruits, and mincing herbs.

A joy to cut with. Incredibly sharp. The slight belly allows for an interesting motion between a slice and a chop.
