MIYABI comes even closer to perfection with Kaizen II (Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better”). The core, forged from highly durable FC61 super steel, is protected by an incredible 48 layers of stainless steel. What's more, Miyabi Kaizen II knives are as beautiful as they are functional.

This obsessive attention to detail results in a true work of art, delivering ultimate cutting precision. The blade is balanced with a D-shaped handle made from pakkawood. Comfortable to hold, the classic Japanese D-shaped handle offers a comfortable grip for effortless cutting. This exceptional handle perfectly matches the blade's gauge. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for producing the highest quality cutlery.
