MIYABI Kaizen Chef's Knife, Medium, Black with Red Accent

Striving for perfection, MIYABI embodies the spirit of Kaizen — a Japanese term meaning "improvement" or "change for the better." These knives are a fusion of cutting-edge hardening technology and the exquisite artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The VG10 super steel core is encased in a breathtaking 64-layer flower Damascus design, ensuring both strength and beauty. The CRYODUR blades are renowned for their exceptional sharpness and longevity, thanks to an innovative ice hardening process.

Skilled artisans then meticulously hand-hone the blades using the time-honored Honbazuke method, resulting in precision cutting for MIYABI Kaizen users. The sleek D-shaped handle, made from black linen Micarta, provides a comfortable and secure grip with a wood-like texture that repels moisture.

Each knife in the MIYABI Kaizen series showcases a traditional Japanese design with a 65-layer flower Damascus pattern and a katana edge. The hand-honing process creates a razor-sharp blade with a precise 9.5 to 12-degree edge angle. The VG10 super steel blade is ice-hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 60 for exceptional durability.

The handle features a sophisticated linen pattern with a mosaic pin, red accent spacers, and a steel end cap. The ergonomic D-shaped design in elegant black color enhances the balance and control of the knife. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, each MIYABI knife embodies the values of Japanese culture, where sharpness is celebrated as a symbol of beauty and excellence.
