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 longer chef's knife cuts like a smaller blade because it is so agile. Great for larger scale foods - large cuts of meat, a side of salmon One stroke is all you need. Super sharp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This one is compact and fits nicely in your hand which results in a firm grip. The longer blade lets you tackle larger meats and vegetables such as squashes, and cauliflower. You can get the blade down in the head and cut away from the stem easily with this super sharp knife.

Great chef knife
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: Niner2015
This is a really great Japanese blade shape and chef knife. The Kaizen II has a beautiful blade with the 48 layers of the FC61 steel designed in a flower damascus pattern. The Micarta wood handle feels really smooth in hand, and has a nice roundedness to it. With the chef knife having the 48 layers of steel, you can really feel how much of a difference that makes when slicing fish, meat or produce. A great knife to have in the kitchen.

This longer, beautiful Kaizen II chef's knife is ideal for many of your prep tasks in the kitchen. I love the comfort of the handle and the Damascus blade stay super sharp for a long time, easily cutting through any food.

The boss

The 9.5" chef gives you a little more length. Adds a little more weight. But still the extremely comfortable handle and the beautiful damascus detail. It is Japanese sharpness and has remained sharp. Excellent quality.

Sharp, durable and beautiful No detail left out! Slice vegetables and meats with ease. Razor sharp edge out of the box and maintains an edge for a long time.
The D shape micarta handle is as pleasing to the eye as it is comfortable..

Love the handle, the blade is beautiful & gorgeous

This Miyabi Kaizen II 9.5" Chef knife is made and handcrafted in Japan, fabricated from revolutionary FC61 fine carbide steel, Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade offers exceptional durability, cutting edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
This Kaizen II is slightly different in steel with Kaizen I is a VG10 steel a gold standard for Japanese knife, outstanding inside out with a D shape handle. So, it is another must have Kaizen knife though Kaizen II has a more intirquit damascus pattern creating barrier between the setel and the food you cut. I liked the feel and touch of the handle while cutting food, it is are scalpel-like sharpness, so smooth. Perfect size for big chunk of meat or vegetables this knife covers everything.
The core, forged from resilient FC61 super steel, is protected by a stunning 48 layers of stainless steel. Hand washing is recommended.

Longer & Larger
on April 13, 2020
Posted by: Cast Away
A longer chef knife with larger bolster for added comfort. The redesigned Kaizen II sports a 49 layer damascus patterned blade and pakkawood handle. Still razor sharp for precision cutting and you are able to do a lot more with this 9.5 inch length.
