My husband gifted me the Miyabi Kaizen II to replace my older chef knife and it has been the best gift so far. Cooking is a hobby of mine and I love to use tools in the kitchen that are great quality. This knife not only looks amazing but chops, dice and slices effortlessly. It’s is the perfect chef knife!
Picked up this knife on a whim at a local retailer. I’ve always used European chefs knives and had been passively curious about Japanese knives and when I got a chance to test it side by side with a well respected European knife (Wustof Classic Ikon) the difference was noticeable for a regular home cook.
The blade weighs less than the thicker German blades so it’s more comfortable to use on those bigger cooking days and it slices and chops so satisfyingly smooth. You’ll be looking things to chop and slice. For the price, you get a very high value knife.
I really like the Damascus design, and the knife is extremely lightweight and sharp. This is my first “professional chefs knife” and I can’t be happier with jt
