Miyabi Kaizen 8 in. Chef Knife

The Miyabi Kaizen 8 in. (200mm) Chef Knife is a great addition to any kitchen. This all purpose kitchen knife can be used to mince, chop, slice and dice. This is the flagship knife of the Kaizen line what makes this knife so amazing is its smooth spine and bolster that don't dig into your hand, and also the balance between the blade in the handle which makes it feel like an extension of your hand.


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 Crydour 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 repellent.


Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
