MIYABI is aiming for perfection with Kaizen (which is Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better.” This line combines the best hardening technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship artistry. The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. CRYODUR blades have exceptional sharpness and durability due to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Artisans then hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. All of this translates into precision cutting. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta. This comfortable handle with its wood-like texture won’t slip from your hand and is moisture repellant. These knives are handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
