Why Choose Kaizen Over Other Miyabi Lines?
While the Miyabi Birchwood line offers a harder SG2 steel (HRC 63), the Kaizen (HRC 60) is preferred by many home cooks because it is significantly easier to sharpen and less prone to chipping during everyday use. It offers the professional feel of a Japanese blade with the resilience required for a busy home kitchen.
