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.

Awesome knife! Sharp, good weight, comfortble, very versatile utility. Great looking too. My 2nd most used knife in my kitchen after my 8.5 chef.. John. Mon Dec 19 2022

Crafted in the samurai sword-making capital of the world, Seki, Japan, Miyabi merges Japanese craftsmanship with German engineering expertise to produce the ultimate kitchen knives. Experience the beauty of sharpness with the Miyabi Evolution series. Beautifully polished to a mirror finish, the ice-hardened blades are extremely durable and corrosion-resistant. Made from revolutionary fine carbide FC61 steel, these knives offer the signature sharpness for which Japanese knives are known. The ergonomic, triple-rivet handle encourages fatigue-free cutting and supports both Western chopping and Asian rocking cuts. With their utmost attention to detail, skilled artisans ensure each knife is of the finest caliber. It takes more than 100 steps and 42 days to create one knife worthy of the Miyabi brand.

Joy to use, feels great in the hand... just go buy it someplace else since Wayfair will not deliver part of your order, have no idea where the missing items are at, then make you wait 3 days to have to call them again to resolve their problem. Terrible company and way of doing business. The Knife gets 5 stars... Wayfair gets 0 stars.. Benjamin. Severn, MD. Sat Jan 06 2024
