This Kaizen rocking santoku is a great addition. I love the versatility of a rocking santoku in that I can rock or chop with an amazingly sharp edge. The VG10 steel and 46 layers make it sharp, beautiful and durable. As is true with all Miyabi knives, they are made and sold as premium knives in Japan, a true testament to their heritage.
What a great design! This knife is for those of you that want a stable and beautiful Japanese knife that functions both as a Santoku and a Chef. Extremely chip and corrosion resistant perfect for all types of slicing and dicing.
The Miyabi line and the Kaizen series is one of a kind series and knife that you will want to purchase and have more than only the hollow-edge Santoku. This knife will perform any job and the rocking motion is perfect for your veggies and for this curved blade! The hollow edge will make your veggies not stock, so no wiping clean with your fingers. Handle looks like wood, but is linen Micarta and feels so comfortable.
The rocking santoku with hollow grooves is a the best of both worlds. Santoku knives are popular in Japan, and the arced blade and hollow grooves are very Western. Combined, this knife is great for most of the cutting requirements you have. The Kaizen line with it's multilayered blade with Damascus design is exceptional. Both beautiful and strong. This is a knife that will hold its edge and last a lifetime.
What I love the most with this Miyabi Kaizen knife, it rocks quietly for sharpness and functionality is awesome..!!! I'd use this every day and never needed a lot of sharpening because it stays sharp as long that you honed it once in a while. Don't forget A VG10 super steel Japanese knife, it is sharp and has 65-layer Damascus flower design. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. Hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge.katana edge and a CRYODUR blade, ice-hardened to Rockwell 60. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta.
This knife is a perfect marriage between a chef knife and a santoku. VG10 steel retains a great edge. The knife is a little handle heavy but still feels good.
This is probably my favorite knife that I own. I love the Kaizen collection, I love the aesthetic of these Japanese knives and how beautiful the 64 layers of VG10 steel is on the blade. Even though the layers are pronounced in that beautiful flower Damascus design, it’s also more subtitle in comparison to some other Miyabi blades. I love this rocking santoku, it is the perfect all purpose knife. Don’t have a chef knife, no worries you can use this knife. Need to mince herbs and garlic? This knife is a workhorse in your kitchen for all sorts of tasks, mincing, slicing, chopping. The handle feels great in hand, contours nicely and the transition from handle to blade is comfortable. I love how durable this knife is, and that I can enjoy this very sharp Japanese knife for years to come.
This blade profile allows you to easily revert between rocking, as with a chef knife, or chopping, as with a santoku. Tip of blade permits you to pierce vegetables or fruits for ease of cutting. Exceptionally sharp with a moisture resistant grip.
