Redesigned Kaizen II is a hit!
on March 31, 2020
Posted by: CookinginCali
If you liked the sharpness of the original Kaizen, but found the handle a little foreign, then it might be time to reconsider the Kaizen line. The handle and the bolster were beefed up to provide more feedback with a firm pinch grip. The 49-layers of steel are hand finished to an extremely sharp edge that holds. It has a double Damascus pattern that is stunning.
This 6-inch chef's knife is ideal for people who like the versatility of a chef's knife but don't like the length of an 8-inch or 10-inch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for every job. My knife sharpener suggested Miyabi as one of the best options on the market. I’m glad I listened.

Smaller chef knife.

This Miyabi kaizen II 6" chef knife is one of the best and comfortable knife I've ever held.
This MIyabi Kaizen is made and handcrafted in Japan, fabricated from revolutionary FC61 fine carbide steel, Ice-hardened FRIODURx2 blade offers exceptional durability, cutting edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
The blade core is surrounded by 48 outer layers of steel which make up the unique Damascus-design pattern on the blade. It is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand. It takes more than 100 steps and 42 days to create one knife worthy of the MIYABI brand.

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.

A great smaller Japanese knife
on March 31, 2020
Posted by: Niner2015
This is a really great Japanese Chef knife. The Kaizen II has a beautiful blade and the Micarta wood handle feels really smooth in hand, and has a nice roundedness to it. With the blade having 48 layers of steel, you can really feel how much of a difference that makes when cutting fish, meat or produce. A great smaller chef knife to have in the kitchen.

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.
