About this item
Product details
MIYABI strives for perfection with Kaizen - Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better." This line of knives combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern.
The CRYODUR blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, icehardening treatment. Then, artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. This attention to detail translates into precision cutting for MIYABI Kaizen users. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta. With a wood-like texture, the comfortable handle won't slip from your hand and acts as a moisture repellant. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.- VG10 super steel

Great utility knife!
Great knife. Very sharp edge on it. Fit and finish are perfect.

Favorite every day knife in my set!
I didn't quite know what to expect with this one, but it has become the one that I use everyday. It's the perfect size for odd jobs like slicing rolls, bagels, fruits, veggies. Great all around tool for the kitchen when you just need something to do the job quickly.

Excellent design
I love the elevated handle which provides natural clearance with the cutting board. The serration is very unique which alternates a point with 2 waves, it is very sharp and effective at cutting squishy tomatoes, bread, or anything in between. One of the most used knives in my kitchen.
