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.

A Great replacement

We have had a 7 piece set of Henckels for over 30 years and we decided that it was time to upgrade our knives. It took over a year to decide which knives to purchase. We finally decided that ZWILLING was the best choice for us and we purchased several knives and we are very glad we did, however, I then had to purchase a bigger knife block to hold the beautiful new knives.

LOVE this knife!

LOVE this knife. The handle feels so perfect and the blade slices right through steak and makes quick work of veggies. Since it arrived, I haven't used any of my other chef's knives.
