## Description

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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Chef's knife!
*by T***V on December 29, 2024*

I have been a loyal Shun buyer for many years. After experiencing repeated issues with my knives chipping and handles fading, a Chef friend suggested I give Miyabi knives a try. The 8' Kaizen II is my first of what will be several Miyabi purchases. I could tell the difference in quality immediately, despite the reasonable price. The handle has a far better hand feel than my old Shuns, the knife better balance and the blade is a work of art. The pictures on Amazon do not do it justice, it’s absolutely stunning, and seems very durable. It's weighted perfectly. The edge is razor sharp, and the knife cuts beautifully. Through tough cuts of meat, while dicing onions, hard vegetables, as well as more delicate items like tomatoes and thin slices of eggplant even razor thin slices of garlic. I can tell that all my other knives in the kitchen will get very lonely, since this will be my go to Chef’s knife from now on. Congratulations to the artisans at Miyabi in Japan for crafting such a perfect knife that will be in my family for years to come. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu.
