Knife Block Sets
A complete kitchen knife set is the ideal solution for equipping your kitchen with every essential blade in one purchase. A great knife block set typically includes a versatile chef's knife for chopping, a precise paring knife for smaller tasks, a serrated bread knife, and a honing steel for regular maintenance, all protected in a handsome storage block. Whether you prefer the durable, workhorse reliability of a German knife set or the razor-sharp, artistic precision of Japanese steel, investing in a set provides superior value and organization over buying individual knives. This single purchase ensures you have the perfect, sharp tool for any recipe, safely stored and ready on your countertop.

Miyabi Kaizen 7-Piece Knife Block Set
Flower Damascus VG10 Knives with Micarta Handles The Miyabi Kaizen 7-Piece Knife Block Set is for cooks moving to Japanese knives for the first time who want the thin, keen edge of a hard steel in a knife that tolerates the pace of a working kitchen. It covers the four knives used most often, stored in a bamboo block with room to add more from the line.
Why It Works VG10 core: The hard stainless core takes a thin, keen edge and holds it well between sharpenings. Flower Damascus cladding: Layers of stainless Damascus protect the core and give each blade a distinctive floral pattern. CRYODUR ice-hardening: Miyabi’s sub-zero hardening process adds hardness, durability and corrosion resistance. Honbazuke edge: Each edge is hand-honed in three stages, so the knife enters food with very little resistance. Micarta handle: The linen Micarta has a wood-like texture, resists moisture and stays secure in a wet hand.
In the Kitchen The chef’s knife handles onions, herbs and chicken on the board. The utility knife is sized for sandwiches, shallots and citrus, and the bread knife saws through crusted loaves and ripe tomatoes. The paring knife covers peeling and trimming in the hand. For a second chef’s knife, a santoku and a slicer, see the Miyabi Kaizen 10-Piece Knife Block Set. Cooks who prefer a polished blade without Damascus cladding can compare the Miyabi Koh 7-Piece Knife Block Set. Learn More$669.95 -
Miyabi Kaizen 10-Piece Knife Block Set
Seven Kaizen Knives for Every Routine Task Kaizen is Japanese for “improvement,” and the Miyabi Kaizen 10-Piece Knife Block Set is for cooks ready to replace a mixed drawer of knives with one matched Japanese collection. The flower Damascus blades, black Micarta handles and red spacers make it one of the most striking sets Miyabi produces, and its VG10 core costs considerably less than Miyabi’s powdered steel lines. It is the most complete Kaizen set we carry. Buying the line as a set means every knife shares the same steel, edge and handle, so each one feels familiar the moment it leaves the block. It also puts the knives most cooks postpone buying, a dedicated slicer and a second chef’s knife, in the kitchen from the first day.
Why It Works VG10 core: The hard stainless core takes a thin, acute edge and holds it well between sharpenings, so the knives stay keen through long prep sessions. Flower Damascus cladding: Stainless layers protect the core and are folded into a floral pattern that gives the whole set a uniform finish. CRYODUR ice-hardening: Miyabi’s sub-zero hardening process adds hardness, durability and corrosion resistance. Honbazuke edge: Each knife is hand-honed in three stages, producing an edge that cuts ripe tomatoes and tender herbs cleanly instead of crushing them. Thin Japanese profile: The blades are thinner behind the edge than a typical German knife, so they part carrots, squash and sweet potatoes with less force. Micarta handle: The linen composite resists moisture and keeps a dry, secure feel through long, wet prep sessions.
The Seven Knives Two chef’s knives: The longer knife carries volume work such as a sack of onions or a whole cabbage. The shorter one is quicker for a single shallot, a handful of herbs or work on a small board. Hollow-edge santoku: The flat edge suits fast push cuts, and the scallops along the blade help slices of potato and cucumber fall away. Slicing knife: The long, narrow blade carves roasts, portions salmon and slices brisket in single strokes, without sawing. Bread knife: The serrated edge cuts crusted sourdough, ripe tomatoes and layer cakes without compressing them. Utility knife: Sized for sandwiches, segmenting citrus and trimming small cuts of meat. Paring knife: Handles peeling apples, hulling strawberries and coring tomatoes in the hand.
Choosing a Miyabi Set For the four core Kaizen knives in a smaller block, see the Miyabi Kaizen 7-Piece Knife Block Set.

For the hardness of powdered steel, Miyabi offers SG2 in the Miyabi Artisan 7-Piece Knife Block Set and the Miyabi Birchwood 7-Piece Knife Block Set, and ZDP-189 in the Miyabi Black 10-Piece Magnetic Block Set.
