Chip resistant steel

Posted by: bourbonbb
Kaizen II is made from FC61, an extrememly chip resistant steel. That is especially important with the thin blade and thin edge angle of Japanese knives. It's a true Japanese knife with a beautiful Damascus design and D shaped handle. The handle is made from Micarta which is a linen and resin mixture that looks and feels like wood but has the moisture resistance and durability of a synthetic material. This is a great bread knife because it will slice cleanly through a hard loaf of bread without tearing. It's also great for slicing and large melons.
This gorgeous bread knife can be used for multiple jobs in the kitchen. The core of the blade is made from FC61 carbide and its surrounded by 48 layers of additional steel which create a beautiful Damascus pattern. The handle is an exaggerated D sharp that is comfortable and fits into any hand. I love to use this on anything that has a hard exterior and soft interior, like melons or cabbage.
One great bread knife, comfortable D-shaped Pakka wood handle, I've enjoyed fit and finish of this knife. It is not by surprised that this knife is versatile, great for leafy vegetables and cuts through meats, breads, bagel, and baguette effortless. It is fabricated from FC61 fine carbide steel blade core, its 48 layers of steel surrounding the core create the beautiful Damascus-design ensures durability. FRIODUR ice-hardened for extreme hardness with rockwell hardness of approximately 61. Symmetrical cutting edge
Beautiful knife made from Fine Carbide steel (FC61) with 48 layers of Damascus surrounding the core. Each knife is unique, durable and individually balanced. The serration on this bread knife bites nicely into thick bread crusts and smoothly cuts the soft inside with very little crumb.
Beautiful Japanese crafted knife. The 49 layer damascus serrated blade glides effortless through hard bread crusts with clean slices. Also excellent for baked sweet breads, angel food cake, tomatoes and citrus fruit.
High end, made from scratch by hand! This is a super steel,super sharp. The design of this blade will cut through foods that have a harder exterior and softer interior. This blade will not shred or tear the softer insides. As you would expect from a Miyabi,Every detail is considered. All edges are rounded and flush!. The 32 layers of damascus protect the steel as well as add beauty! Amazing knife at a great price!
Beautiful to look at and slice. The steel has a one of a kind damascus detail. It's durable and slices through anything like it's going through butter. The handle is rounded like a Japanese handle. Extremely comfortable. Very lightweight. We love out Kaizen II knives.
