MIYABI strives for perfection with Kaizen — Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better." This line of knives combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. 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 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 repellant. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

The knife came perfectly sharp and without a flaw. However I wish the width of the blade was much narrower ... half the present width. It's very difficult to turn the knife when the blade is embedded in, let's say, a piece of fruit. I have a very old, inexpensive paring knife that has a narrow blade and it's incredibly maneuverable. Unfortunately the steel dulls too quickly because it's a cheap knife. I looked on line and all the knives with good steel have big bellies.
