About this product

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® icehardened blade makes for improved corrosion resistance and astonishing durability. Artisans handhone the blades using the venerable fourstep 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 Dshaped handle made of black pakkawood. Effortless to hold, the classic Japanese “D”shape handle offers a comfortable grip for stressfree cutting. This striking handle truly matches the caliber of the blade. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its highest quality cutlery production.
