I love this Miyabi line for the superior quality and for the beauty as well. This line is made of a super steel, VG10 and has a hardness of 60. What that means is that the knives are very sharp and have been through a hardening process that makes them super durable. The thin blade profile is typical of quality Japanese knives and they are sharpened to a more acute angle than German knives. The Damascus design on the blade is unique and is the product of many artisans work in layering of metals and hand finishing. The black micarta handle is not only beautiful, but it is resistant to moisture. This set includes some of the most used knives in the kitchen!

A Great Set of Japanese Knives
This beautiful set of Japanese knives has features that are true to its Japanese heritage. The D shaped handle, with the signature Miyabi logo on the end cap, rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. It's made out of a very durable material called micarta; which is a linen and resin mixture. It's awesome because you get the look and feel of wood with the durable of a synthetic material.
The blade is a 65 layer Damascus that protects the VG10 core. This makes it very hard which gives it incredible edge retention, plus durability.
If you want an authentic Japanese knife, end your search with Miyabi. They are made and sold in Japan as the premium knife.

What I love the most with these Miyabi Kaizen set, it has everything a Chef would ask for to have in their kitchen for every cooking needs. Its sharp 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 VG10 super steel Japanese knife, harp 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.

Love this knife collection!
I absolutely love this knife collection. I love the look of the blade and the pattern look of the 64 layers of the durable steel of this knife. The handle is nicely rounded, really feels nice with the Micarta wood. The knife has a really nice weight to it, and I can cut with ease and comfort. I have had a lot of different style knives and collections that I've used in the kitchen, but this is one collection that I always go back to, I just love everything about it so the block set is perfect and has a great assortment of knives.

Favorite knives of all time
I bought the santoku knife from this line a few years ago and its my favorite. the problem with buying one knife, its hard to justify getting a second when you upgrade to the block. This set is smaller than the other one and Im not duplicating anything. This is a beautiful addition to my counter! I live how effortlessly the steel on these blades cuts and maintains a crisp smooth sharp edge. Well worth the money to have something so beautiful have such amazing practical quality

great start
I have been looking at investing in some Japanese cutlery for a while but never had the money to jump in. This is a great starter set that allows me to add more over time. The Kaizen knives feature a comfortable D shaped handle with super sharp high carbon blades. The Damascus style blades really hold an edge for a long time and are easy to maintain. The block comes with a good starter assortment but also leaves several slots for me to add more to my collection in the future.

Among the very best
Miyabi Kaizen knives are made from VG10 super steel which is considered top quality for knife making. This is because it is very hard but is formulated to achieve a razor sharp edge that will stay that way use after use. Kaizen is crafted with 64 additional layers of stainless steel to achieve the flower damascus pattern. With a traditional Japanes D shaped handle you will feel like a top chef using each of the knives in this set.

Every knife in this set is one that I use a lot in the kitchen, which makes this set a great value. These knives are very sharp and will retain their sharpness longer due to the VG10 super steel and the special ice-hardening process. Everything is so easy to slice, dice and chop with these and the traditional D-shape handle is so comfortable in my hand, I can work for hours if needed and never get fatigue.
