A paring knife that is a pleasure to work with. The Kaizen 4.5" blade is perfect for everyday cutting and peeling jobs in the kitchen. The Japanese VH10 steel remains sharp, and is easy to sharpen, allowing me to peel 20 pounds of potatoes without hand fatigue. The D shaped handle is comfortable and the Micarta handle is extremely durable, requiring limited maintenance, and is also slip resistant. This knife is a joy to work with and gets a great work out.

Longer Paring Knife
Love having the 4.5 length on the blade. Great for removing silver skin from pork and beef. Particularly useful when trimming fat from brisket. Just the right size to glide through the fat packet. Great for paring, and slicing vegetables. The shape of a mini chef's knife which makes it perfect for smaller cutting jobs in the kitchen. Japanese steel, really holds and edge, and the D shaped handle offers a comfortable grip.

great shape paring knife
This is a very good paring knife. The slim D shaped handle is comfortable to hold while working in hand. The Micarta handle is very light. The blade is very sharp. The Super Steel construction stays sharp for a very long time and is easy to maintain. The Damascus style pattern is very unique and shows the Japanese craftsmanship and artistry put into this knife.

Stiff, Super-sharp & Tough!
Great Japanese carbide VG-10 (long known as Japanese fantastic knife steel) in a well-weighted, perfect paring knife. Micarta handle is nearly indestructible..

The Miyabi Kaizen paring knives are both elegant to use and beautiful to look at. The slim D-shaped handle tucks into the fingers confidently. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through delicate fruits and hearty peels effortlessly. That's because the 64 layers of molten steel applied over the VG10 steel core hold a tight edge. Less work for more precise cuts. Adding to the enjoyment of this phenomenal cutting tool is its beauty. The Damascus-style polishing showing the layers and the linen Micarta handle with finishing details combine to make using and owning this knife a joy.

Great paring knife
This is a great paring knife because it is a little longer than the typical and the handle is tapered so that it is easy to hold and very comfortable to use. The blade has a beautiful design and you can tell the fine craftsmanship that was put into the design.

A perfectly sized paring knife made with high carbon Steel. The Miyabi Kaizen line is a traditional look and feel for a Japanese knife. the D shaped handle feels very comfortable in the right hand but may feel more movement for a left handed chef.

I love the Damascus pattern on the blade. Additionally, this blade is very sharp due to the quality of steel used during construction. This pairing knife is perfect for peeling, slicing, and dicing small vegetables and fruits!

Super Sharp
This paring knife is made from a VG10 steel core and honed to an razor sharp 9 to 12 degree angle. Because of the quality of the steel it will retain that sharp edge use after use. The handle is slightly longer than some paring knives so you will get a nice secure grip. The Micarta handle has an authentic wood look without the downfalls of wood such as swelling and cracking.
