Intricate and Sharpness!
on April 1, 2020
Posted by: Bradley Baby Mochi
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.

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 nakiri blade shape is the ultimate chopping - prep knife. Used in Japanese kitchens for centuries, it has the stability of a cleave without the weight. This nakiri has a slight arc making it compatible with Western styles of cutting and chopping.

Meet Nakiri
on March 31, 2020
Posted by: Cast Away
The nakiri is a smaller version of the Chinese cleaver, with a less broad blade. Combined with the symmetrical handle and well rounded heel at back of blade, this knife provides effortless chopping and cutting.

The sweeping blade shape is great for chopping and dicing. Razor sharp blade made out of a tough FC61 steel.

Great Nakiri
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Niner2015
This is a really great Japanese blade shape and 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 knife to have in the kitchen.

This Nakiri has a nicely shaped blade, it is more rounded that other blunt edge Nakiri knives so I seem to be able to work more quickly with it. Made with FC61 durable steel it can go through even the toughest vegetables and small bones. Handle is extremely comfortable, more rounded than the traditional Japanese D shaped handle.

Chop chop

Amazing how much sharper a Japanese knife is, or at least the perception is that it's sharper. And in this case, much more beautiful too. The nakiri is a new blade shape for me. It does an amazing job with fruits and vegetables.
