Miyabi moves one step closer to perfection with Kaizen II cutlery. Kaizen II knives combine traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the best German blade-hardening technology and stunning modern design. A core of FC61 fine carbide steel is embedded within 48 layers of Damascus stainless steel, creating the blade's gorgeous floral pattern. These handcrafted knives are both a work of art and the ultimate in precision sharpness. This collection includes a magnetic bamboo easel-style block to showcase the knives.

  • Blades are forged from Miyabi's proprietary FC61 super steel and protected by 48-layer Damascus stainless steel in a beautiful, acid-dipped floral pattern.
  • Authentic, thin Japanese blade profile for lightweight handling and precision control.
  • Fine carbide distribution creates a razor-sharp and durable blade with 61 Rockwell hardness.
  • Double ice-hardened FRIODUR® blades offer remarkable durability, corrosion resistance and edge retention.
  • Blades are hand-honed using the historic Honbazuke method to an exceptionally sharp 9.5 to 12 degree angle.
  • Black PakkaWood handle with mosaic pin and Miyabi logo end cap.
  • Ergonomic Japanese D-shaped handle design is effortless to hold.
  • Strong, substantial handle features an improved thicker and rounded bolster for increased comfort and balance.
  • Each knife takes more than 100 steps and 42 days to create.
  • Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its highest quality cutlery production.
