MIYABI strives for perfection with Kaizen—Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better.” This collection of knives combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
The 8-inch chef’s knife is a reliable, all-rounder knife, perfect for almost every kitchen task. Chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with this workhorse blade.
The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. The CRYODUR® blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Then, artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic 3-step Honbazuke method.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, Kaizen scalpel-like blades are balanced by a refined handle made of black linen Micarta. With a wood-like texture, the comfortable handle won’t slip from your hand and acts as a moisture repellent.
