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.

    Beautiful

    Excellent blade and great cuts. The bread knife is pricey but worth the price. I really enjoy cutting anything that requires a serrated knife edge.

    Poorly finished cutting edge

    I returned the knife because the blade edge was poorly sharpened. The serrated edge had some flattened teeth and there was an obvious burr along the edge. Evidently a replacement will be sent under a warranty claim so we will see if it’s properly sharpened this time.

    Super sharp knife

    I love this bread knife! I can’t believe how well this knife cuts through my Italian bread, without tearing it up. This knife is so sleek and sharp. It exceeds my expectations!

    Beautiful comfortable knife

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work as a chef at Dillards Corporate, and have been using this knife. It is a wonderful knife for long term use when it comes to handle comfort. Most of my knife set is shun and I love D shaped handles, but this one is the best of both worlds. When I pick it up it just feels like a professional tool. I love it. I wish I could get a chef knife from miyabi….. maybe in the future….

    Great knife!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing knife, feels perfect in my hand and cuts bread like a champ. I don't use it for anything but bread so can't speak to that but it cuts through sourdough crust like it's cake

    Sourdough Slice

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife cuts through crusty sourdough so easily. Even slicing with no effort. Comfortable to hold. Love this knife, recommend for anyone who bakes crusty loaves. I have never paid this much for a knife, but well worth it.
