About This Item

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.

KOTAI - Santoku 7-inch Multi-Purpose Kitchen Knife | PAKKA Collection

The KOTAI Santoku Knife – 7-inch (Pakka Collection) delivers exceptional everyday precision, crafted to embody the Japanese “three virtues” by excelling with vegetables, meat, and fish. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this knife is engineered for comfort, sharpness, and balance, bringing professional grade performance into any home kitchen. At the heart of the knife is its high end 440C Japanese stainless-steel blade, containing twice as much carbon as many premium steels. This enhanced composition, combined with careful heat treatment to HRC 60 ± 1, ensures outstanding hardness and edge retention. The result is a razor sharp blade that maintains its cutting power use after use. Each Santoku is handmade, showcasing the precision and consistency that only skilled artisans can achieve. The blade features a traditional Tsuchime hammered finish, creating tiny air pockets along the surface. This treatment reduces friction, minimizes drag, and helps ingredients release cleanly from the blade, making every cut smoother and more efficient. A hidden full tang construction - a single piece of steel running through the handle - adds structural strength and provides perfect balance. This design enhances stability and gives cooks the confident control needed for both delicate slicing and tougher prep work. The knife’s hand polished pakkawood handle offers excellent weight distribution and a secure, comfortable grip. Whether you're preparing soft herbs or working through denser ingredients, the handle reduces wrist fatigue and supports precise control. With its thin profile, the blade delivers clean, accurate cuts without crushing delicate foods, preserving texture, flavor, and presentation. It’s a versatile and dependable tool suitable for both seasoned chefs and passionate home cooks. Every knife comes packaged with a bamboo Saya (blade guard) and a sustainably grown bamboo box, offering both safe storage and a premium, gift ready presentation that reflects the craftsmanship inside.
