About this item
Product details
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.

5 out of 5 stars review
Just right for my wife's hand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have the small 3.5in paring knife and the 6in chef's knife. Both work well, but one is too small for most vegetables, and the other is too big for my wife's smaller hand. The 5.5in prep knife is just right for her. The shorter blade makes it easier to hold and the lower profile of the blade makes it easier to slice through vegetables than the 6in chef's knife. I would definitely recommend this knife
