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 Pakka wood. Effortless to hold, the classic Japanese “D”-shape handle offers a comfortable grip for stress-free cutting. This striking handle truly matches the caliber of the blade. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its highest quality cutlery production.

Absolutely love this knife! I have had the knife for more than 2 years now, and it still works just as great as the first day I used it. You do have to make sure to sharpen the knife periodically (I suggest you buy the sharpener that is made for this knife, which I did). I have absolutely no complaints about this product. It is sharp and makes cutting meat, vegetables, fruit, or anything a breeze. Great value for the price.. Donna. North Potomac, MD. Mon Apr 18 2022

Miyabi 5000 FCD Shotoh, 13cm blade. The photos, or petty knife, is ideal for the preparation of smaller cuts of meat and fruit, and vegetables. It has a fine carbide steel core with a hardness that gives very good cutting edge retention and initial sharpness. The core is embedded in 48 layers of steel which gives each blade its unique Damascus-design pattern. Razor-like sharpness is achieved by a three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process called Honbazuke honing. The entire length of the cutting edge can be used as there is no finger guard. For best care, wash by hand, and maintain and sharpen using whetstones. We’d recommend using a wooden chopping board as opposed to glass, ceramic, or stone boards as these will dull the cutting edge.

(no knives included) Stay organized while maximizing counter space. The MIYABI 12-slot Bamboo Knife Block holds up to 10 knives with extra slots for a pair of scissors and sharpening steel. Keep all your kitchen essentials within reach for fast, efficient prep work. This stylish knife block is crafted from natural bamboo, an attractive, durable wood that resists water penetration, staining, and knife scarring. Ideal for blades both big and small.

Overall an excellent block, particularly if you have multiple larger knives. Pros: Good looks. Quality wood (bamboo). Narrower than most blocks that hold similar amounts of knives. Fits more wide blades than typical. Cons: The opening for the honing steel is a bit small, and if your steel has a guard to protect your fingers, it may cover from 1-3 knife slots partially. Longer base than many knife blocks.. Nick. Gaithersburg, MD. Mon Sep 05 2022

Behold a striking way to showcase, organize, and store your knives. With a broad surface area that fits up to 7 knives, its powerful hidden magnets securely and safely hold each blade in place. Keep your favorites within reach for faster, easier prep work. Equally elegant and durable, this magnetic knife block will grace your countertops for many years to come. It is crafted from natural bamboo, a beautiful, durable wood that resists water penetration, staining, and knife scarring. Along with its slot-less design - which prevents the blade-damaging bacteria growth that can occur in knife block slots - the magnetic easel is exceptionally hygienic for a healthier kitchen.

Beautiful knife hits well above its price point. I have been owning and using Japanese knives in professional kitchens for the better part of 3 decades and this knife performs as well or better than knives from misono, Masahiro and others and costs far less. It’s also much more user friendly, sharpened on both sides, stainless, and a more traditional shape- if that works for you. At 109 bucks it’s a steal. Get one!. Sean Conroy. Colorado Springs.

Fantastic bread knife, love the feel in hand and love the look.. Peter. Carmel. Mon May 18 2026

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 Pakka wood. Effortless to hold, the classic Japanese “D”-shape handle offers a comfortable grip for stress-free cutting. This striking handle truly matches the caliber of the blade. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for its highest quality cutlery production.

Love these knives. Good value!. Blair. Santa Monica, CA. Sun Dec 27 2020

Miyabi 5000 FCD Gyutoh, 16cm blade. The gyutoh is the chef’s knife of the Japanese kitchen, used as a general-purpose knife for preparing larger cuts of meat and vegetables. The blade core is made of hard fine carbide steel for very good initial sharpness and cutting-edge retention. 48 layers of steel surround the core and make up the Damascus design of the blade. A three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process called Honbazuke honing give the knife a razor-sharp cutting edge. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The edge is symmetrical (not a single bevel) so can be used by those both left and right-handed. The smooth join between handle and bolster helps to prevent calluses from forming on the thumb and forefinger. For best care, wash by hand, and maintain and sharpen using whetstones. Avoid using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards as these will dull the cutting edge.

I purchased the Miyabi Black steel in order to have a steel that was hard enough to sharpen and hone the Miyabi Black series of knives. I am very happy with the performance of this steel, and it is a work of art in and of itself. Gorgeous workmanship.. Eyahna. Springfield, Oregon. Tue Aug 13 2019
