## 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.

Review: Heavy, Durable, Beautiful knife - This knife is durable, very sharp, the handle is heavy and is the perfect weight, and it looks so beautiful! Going to be cooking with this every day
Review: Incredibly sharp and wonderful feel in the hand! - I bought this knife to replace an older santoku that was of a much lower quality. I was blown away by the build quality of this Miyabi and how solid it felt. It's a delight in the hand and glides through vegetables with such ease it's like they're not even there. It's easy to clean with a little soap and water and nothing sticks to the sides of it while cutting. I'm ecstatic to have this in my collection.
