This is one of my favorite Miyabi lines and knives. The classic Miyabi handle is ultra comfortable while the mega sharp 8" blade easily tackles numerous prep tasks. The beautiful damascus pattern and layers reenforce the strength and durability that is expected in an Asian knife.

This redesigned Kaizen II chef knife has a 49 layer Damascus pattern blade and Pakkawood handle with larger bolster for added comfort. Still razor sharp for precision cutting.

Great Japanese Chef knife
on March 26, 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 knife to have in the kitchen.

Perfect Cutting Edge
on March 27, 2020
Posted by: Cooking Mommy
This knife is created from the durable FC61 steel and has an additional 48 layers of protection surrounding the core. My favorite think about this knife is the handle, its reminiscent of the traditional Japanese D shaped handle but is more rounded - so comfortable for working on big jobs.

This knife has a beautiful damascus pattern made out of FC61 steel which is a tough hard metal that has great edge retention. With the new handle design the knife feels good in right or left hands.

Fits Better, Cuts Better!
on March 30, 2020

This will be one of the best Miyabi knife you can have. It is sharp, 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.

Updated Kaizen II is a home run
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 gyutoh (Western style chef's) blade shape has a sweeping arc for ease of use when making julienne, or chiffonade slices.
