Miyabi Kaizen 5000DP Knives

Miyabi Kaizen (Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better") knives combine the great hardening technology perfected by German cutlers and traditional craftsmanship the Japanese knife makers are known for. A Miyabi Kaizen knife features 32 layers clad on each side of a VG-10 "super steel" core, creating a beautiful Damascus flower pattern. Each blade is hand-honed using a traditional three-step honbazuke process, which are then Cryodur ice-hardened for enhanced hardness and flexibility. The handles are black Micarta, which are accented with a mosaic pin, red spacers, and metal end cap. Not to be confused with Miyabi Kaizen II, which is an inferior steel type that does not meet Knife Merchant quality standards.
