The Miyabi Kaizen II 7-pc Knife Set does not disappoint. The knives are easy to handle and satisfyingly sharp. The set has a basic complement of knives, from a paring knife to the awesome chef's. As the block will accommodate extras, I added the handy Satoku. The kitchen shears and conditioning steel are a bonus. Very happy with this purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are starting our set of “forever knives” and found this to be an incredible value!! It comes with all the knives we use the most and room to add to the set in the future. We have only used it for a few weeks, but love it so far!!! We are former Cutco owners and couldn’t be happier with the switch!! Far superior knives!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These knives are extremely sharp, and absolutely gorgeous to boot. The handle feels incredible, and I love the placement of the kanji seal in the handle as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These knives are the perfect set for experienced home or professional cooks. Would not recommend for beginners unless you have strong knife skills and are willing to take care of them. Very sharp and well balanced with beautiful detailing on the blades and handles.
I have wanted to explore Japanese cutlery for a while but I was a bit wary of some of the maintenance. This set alleviates that for me. The type of steel FC61 can get super thin like traditional Japanese steel but is much more user friendly and chip resistant. It sharpens very easily as well. The damascus style of the blade brings it to another level. The layering is exquisite. The shape of the wood handles are very comfortable. I look forward toi adding more pieces in the future.
