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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
