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.

Seller Verified Purchase
Great item. Confusing packaging.
Fantastic product but the packaging leaves a lot to desire for. Each item was packed in an individual box too big for the item, and shipped separately. I received 4 big boxes for 4 very small items. Cdve all easily ft into one box.
Great knife
Cuts sour dough like butter, this is my second knife in this collection and I will certainly be buying more of them soon.
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.
