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 paring knife/utility knife hybrid is surprising useful. Slice through a sandwich. Supreme an orange. Cut open a mango. Peel a plantain. Nothing stops the glide of this sharp blade.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This knife does it all. Its a hybrid of sorts - made from German Special Formula Steel its amazingly durable, has an Japanese style which provides a beautiful slice. The handle is a blown out D shape which is so comfortable in the hand. There are 49 layers of steel creating a traditional Damascus pattern.

Kaisen ll is one of my favorite Miyabi lines that we produce. I love the shape of the handle, not to mention the beauty of it, and how it fits in the palm of my hand. The Pakkawood design is gorgeous and is largely water-resistant. The blade is extremely sharp due to the FC61 steel and the ice-hardening process, which makes this knife very durable as well. I like this size for working with fruits and vegetables.

Great looking Utility

This is a really great Japanese Utility knife. The Kaizen II has a beautiful blade with the 48 layers of the durable and sharp FC61 steel that is designed in a flower damascus pattern. The Pakka wood handle feels really smooth in hand, and has a nice roundedness to it. With the Utility knife having the 48 layers of steel, you can really feel how much of a difference that makes when slicing fruits, meat or veggies. A great knife to have in the kitchen.

I love my Kaizen II knives and this utility knife is definitely one of them. With such a comfortable handle and durable, Damascus blade, I love pulling this knife out for prep work. The strong blade is mega sharp and can be used for a versatile range of prep tasks.

This petite paring knife is the best I've ever used, I cannot believe how easily this knife trims and pares! if I didn't know better I'd say it was a razor because its razor sharp, razor thin and cuts like a razor! the lovely damascus pattern serves to make this incredibly sharp knife incredibly sharp in appearance as well!

Kaizen ll is a high end, made by hand, extremely beautiful knife. The core is made with the ultimate steel and is protected by layers of damascus. This is a slightly longer than average prep knife which is perfect for slicing small to medium size fruits and vegetables.
Sharp, balanced and durable. The handle is unbelievably comfortable.

Amazing knife. Exceptional quality. The blade is super sharp and durable. The rounded handle is comfortable. A little longer than a 3 and 4" paring. Good for working with small fruits and vegetables.
