Beautiful gift for our father who proudly carves the Thanksgiving turkey every year. Definately a splurge. Works well on ham and roast beef as well. Beautiful to look at and use.
This is a really great Japanese slicing 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 slicing fish, meat or produce. A great knife to have in the kitchen.
This high quality slicing knife will effortlessly slice through anything. The Kaizen II handle is so comfortable and the Damascus blade ensures long lasting durability and sharpness.
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 is the ultimate sashimi or carpaccio blade. One steady cut, one beautiful slice. Or put it next to your turkey at Thanksgiving, your ham at Christmas or your roast beef this Sunday.
