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.

Miyabi Kaizen II - Great at-home Knife
Really like the balance of the knife, and the shape and feel of the handle in my hand. Obviously the knife cuts great, and it's the perfect size chef's knife for someone like me, who feels like an 8-inch or larger chef's knife is a little too big for routine, at-home kitchen prep.

Perfectly balanced
Beautifully balanced, incredibly sharp. I tested many knives from many other brands: Shun, Wusthof, etc.. and this was easily the most comfortable and balanced. FC61 has held up well in my other Miyabi knives and I have no doubt this one will too.
