Miyabi Kaizen 8" Chef's Knife

The Miyabi Kaizen Chef's Knife is the most indispensable of all knives. Perfectly diced onions and peppers, slender zucchini matchsticks, roll cut carrots and thinly shredded cabbage are just a few strokes away with this powerful, versatile tool. The Miyabi Kaizen collection combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The resilient core of VG10 super steel (5000DP) 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. Artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. This attention to detail translates into precision cutting for Miyabi Kaizen users. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped 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. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
