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.

Sharp and beautiful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always seen the example of a knife cutting a tomato into paper thin slices, but never had a knife that could actually do it. This one does. Amazingly sharp and exceptionally beautiful

Super light, you get what you pay for
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blade is light and thin, good for small cuts/foods. The handle is very ergonomic and feels substantial for its size/slim shape. A little bit pricey, but worth splurging for a great prep knife imo. Would recommend.

Solid little knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for a utility knife that was slightly offset on the hilt and this was perfect. The handle fits my big hands well for being a smaller knife.

5.5 Damascus prep knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a awesome feeling knife they only thing I would change is to make the handle just a little thicker, however the knife comes with a crazy sharp blade on it when you buy it it’s very easy to handle and holds edge very well
