Miyabi Kaizen II Bunka Utility Knife | 6.5″

Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better,” the Kaizen II is one step closer to perfection. A combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the best hardening technology and modern design, the core of the blade is forged from resilient FC61 super steel and protected by a stunning 48 layers of stainless steel. It features a gorgeous Damascus flower pattern that is dramatically darkened through acid dipping, and the double FRIODUR ice-hardened blade improves corrosion resistance and delivers astonishing durability. Hand-honed using the four-step Honbazuke method, the blade is balanced by a substantial D-shaped handle made of black pakkawood that provides a comfortable grip for stress-free cutting. The sharply angled tip adds precision and dexterity for slicing fruit, mincing garlic and cutting very thin cuts of meat or poultry.
