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.

First off, the knives are absolutely beautiful. They seem very well made and heavy-in a good way. They have a great feel in your hand and cut very well. Seriously sharp knives. We've only had them for a few months now but we love them and have had zero issues. No regrets here.

Beautiful Kitchen Set
The knives are absolutely beautiful and very sharp. They have excellent balance. The weight is a little light in comparison to some older chopping knives that we are used to. However, the sharpness and sharpen-ability of the blades more than over compensate. Overall these are probably the last knives (knife set) we will need and continue to use in our kitchen.

Great knife set
Got these as a Christmas gift from my husband and they’re great! The quality seems sturdy and the blades are very sharp. They’re comfortable to handle and the block doesn’t take up too much space on the countertop.

Excellent knives
This is my first set of Japanese (nonetheless expensive) knives. I had no idea Miyabi is apart of the Henckels brand. These knives are amazing. Its construction and build is top notch and the handle makes for an effortless cut. The blades are sharp straight out of the box and the design overall is captivating. On the edges of the knives is a very detailed angle, I could only imagine it’s to assist with cutting into larger items (watermelon, etc). I’m sure there are knives that has a composition much better than these, but for the price (especially on a sale), this is set is well beyond its worth in gold. The knife block is an added bonus because adequate and safe storage is imperative for these knives.

Extremely sharp and beautiful knives
I have been saving up for these for a year, and they did not disappoint. My family are big cookers, and this just makes cooking twice as fun. They are gorgeous on the counter and cut through anything like butter.

Beautiful Knives
This set came well-packaged and beautifully sharp out of the box. The handles are pretty ergonomic and pleasant to cut with, though a touch slippery that I expect to develop more grip with time. Overall a great experience
