MIYABI Kaizen Chef's Knife, Black with Red Accent

Striving for perfection, MIYABI embodies the spirit of Kaizen - the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement. These knives are a fusion of cutting-edge hardening technology and the time-honored artistry of Japanese craftsmanship. The VG10 super steel core is encased in a breathtaking 64-layer flower Damascus pattern, ensuring both resilience and beauty. CRYODUR blades undergo a specialized ice-hardening treatment, resulting in exceptional sharpness and durability. Skilled artisans meticulously hand-hone each blade using the traditional Honbazuke method, guaranteeing precision cutting for users of MIYABI Kaizen knives.

The blade is complemented by a refined D-shaped handle crafted from black linen Micarta, offering a wood-like texture that is comfortable to hold, moisture-resistant, and provides a secure grip. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, these knives boast a traditional thin Japanese blade profile with a stunning 65-layer flower Damascus design and a katana edge. The 8"" chef-style blade is carefully honed to a razor-sharp 9.5 to 12-degree edge using the three-step Honbazuke process. The VG10 super steel CRYODUR blade is ice-hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 60, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and strength.

The MIYABI Kaizen series represents a harmonious blend of modern hardening technology and ancient craftsmanship, embodying the spirit of improvement and innovation. The Micarta handle features a linen pattern, mosaic pin, red accent spacers, and steel end cap, adding a touch of elegance to the knife's design. Made in Seki, Japan, these knives embody "The Beauty of Sharpness," a value deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.
