My wife liked a smaller santoku from our crummy knife block because it fit well in her hand and was more comfortable to use than my chefs knives but it was duller than Trump supporters. I decided to purchase this when it was on sale for a gift since Shun has a good reputation with their knives.

Fortunately, it was quick to sharpen on the wet stone and wasn't too difficult to get it back to gliding through produce.. Mark T.. Sat Dec 23 2023

Expert German engineering meets exquisite Japanese craftsmanship. This robust 10-piece set includes the essential knives you need in the kitchen. From the paring knife for smaller-scale tasks and detailed in-hand garnishes to the all-rounder chef’s knife which is the workhorse of the kitchen, these knives will set you up for food prep success, and sharpening steel will help you keep them in top shape. The knives store elegantly on a magnetic bamboo easel block. All knives are handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its highest quality cutlery production. Miyabi moves one step closer to perfection with Kaizen II – Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better.” The Kaizen II collection boasts traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with the best hardening technology and beautiful modern design. The core, forged from resilient FC61 super steel, is protected by a stunning 48 layers of stainless steel. And Miyabi Kaizen II knives are as beautiful as they are functional. The blades’ gorgeous flower Damascus pattern is dramatically darkened through acid dipping. The double Friodur® ice-hardened blade makes for improved corrosion resistance and astonishing durability. Artisans hand-hone the blades using the venerable four-step Honbazuke method. This fine attention to detail translates into a work of art that is the ultimate in precision cutting. The blade is balanced by a substantial D-shaped handle made of black Pakkawood. Effortless to hold, the classic Japanese “D”-shape handle offers a comfortable grip for stress-free cutting.

I’m really impressed with this knife set! Its a sharpener block knife set that includes six steak knives, which is a huge plus for me. The knives are incredibly sharp and make food preparation a breeze. However, it is a bit longer than I would prefer, and I had to push it under my little elevated shelf to make it fit.
