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.
