New Kaizen-Traditional Knife
on April 25, 2020
Posted by: Lars Reich
Frequency of use:Daily
Hard steel core wrapped many times to create Damascus-look. Super sharp and stays that way. Very cool contrast in blade. Pakka wood handle just adds to package!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this Miyabi Kaizen 2 Chef knife. It is not only beautiful to the eye, but it is made with FC61 steel and is very sharp. The "D" shaped blade fits well in my hand it makes vegetable cuts and fine cuts on fish very easy.

superior design

I love the attention to detail on this knife. From the smooth transition between blade and handle. to the beautiful damascus layers protecting the razor sharp cutting steel this knife is IT. As a traditional shaped chef knife it will get plenty of use in my kitchen. Meant to last a lifetime, the cutting edge certainly stays sharp and smooth unlike other Japanese brands that seem to nick a lot.

FC61 Steel core brings this knife to a new level
on April 4, 2020
Posted by: HomeCook5
The Kaizen II Chef's knife is going to be one of the strongest and sharpest knives you will ever own due to the FC61 steel core. The composite of this steel allows it to be honed to a razor sharp edge and remain that way use after use. The core is covered in 48 layers of steel to create a unique damascus pattern. With a traditional Japanese Pakka wood handle the weight and grip of this handle matches the strength and beauty of the blade.

New kind of toughness
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: bourbonbb
Japanese knives have always been known to be incredibly sharp. Anyone that has owned one knows that sharpness sometimes comes with a price; they are prone to chipping. This is due to the fact that what makes them so sharp is a thinner blade and a very thin edge.
Kaizen II has conquered that problem with a new type of steel, FC61. It is extremely durable and very chip resistant.

Guytoh (ya know you're getting an authentic Japanese knife) or Chef knife can be the work horse in your kitchen. Chopping veggies or slicing meat, it can handle most tasks with ease.
Aside from being a work horse, it's incredibly beautiful with the damascus design. The D shaped handle, again true to Japanese heritage, fits nicely in the palm of your hand.

Japanese kaizen II Chef knife - my idea of perfection! The Damascus design only adds to the beauty and durability with its 48 layers. A breeze to cut through meats and veggies and keeps its very sharp edge and feel so comfortable.

I really like the balance on this knife. It slices so thinly that you can use it instead of a mandoline. This is my go to knife when I have a lot of meat and veggies to cut up.
The damascus is beautiful and the handle feels smooth and secure in your hand.
