A 6" chef knife is perfect if you feel like an 8" is just too big to handle. It's still long enough to cut through most fruits and vegetables, or slice through meat.
Kaizen II is an authentic Japanese knife; much of the process is by hand. It is made from FC61 steel which is very hard (think great edge retention) but also extremely durable (very chip resistant). I don't believe anyone else is using this type of steel. The beautiful 64 layer Damascus design protects the core of the knife as well. The handle is authentic to Japanese heritage also, with its D shape design. It is extremely comfortable in your hand and is made of micarta which is a linen and resin mixture. It has the look and feel of wood, with the durability of a synthetic material.
All purpose knife that stays super-sharp! Love the 48-layer Damascus pattern on this one, looks attractive and helps keeps food from sticking. the pakka wood handle feels smooth and comfortable and is easy to handle. This Miyabi Kaizen is worth owning!
I gave this knife to a family member for a birthday gift and she loves it!! I liked that the handle felt solid and universal for right and left handed people.
Great little knife for those cutting jobs that don't require the full 8" Chef. I use this knife for mincing garlic and herbs, cutting small onions, apples, celery and carrots. It's also great for chopping nuts.
This Kaizen II chef knife has a 49 layer Damascus pattern blade and Pakkawood handle with larger bolster for added comfort. Almost any cutting you need to do can be tackled with the razor sharp edge.
Performance and beauty!! The width and size of this blade are exceptional for precision slicing and dicing. the blade is super sharp out of the box and feels balanced in your hand. Miyabi Magic!!
