Miyabi Kaizen 8″ Chef VG10 Damascus Black Linen Micarta
The MIYABI Kaizen 8-Inch Chef’s Knife embodies the spirit of Kaizen—Japanese for “continuous improvement.” This masterfully crafted knife combines advanced steel-hardening technology with the timeless artistry of traditional Japanese blade-making, delivering outstanding performance and precision for every kitchen task.
Designed as a true all-purpose knife, the Kaizen 8-inch chef’s knife excels at chopping herbs, dicing onions, mincing garlic, and slicing vegetables or meats. Its VG10 super steel core ensures razor-sharp performance and exceptional edge retention, while the 65-layer flower Damascus pattern provides both striking visual beauty and added blade resilience.
Each CRYODUR® ice-hardened blade undergoes the meticulous Honbazuke three-step hand-honing process, achieving a precise 9.5° to 12° cutting angle for scalpel-like sharpness. The traditional D-shaped black linen Micarta handle offers a comfortable, moisture-resistant grip with the refined look and feel of natural wood grain.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the MIYABI Kaizen chef’s knife exemplifies a perfect balance between Japanese tradition, cutting-edge steel technology, and ergonomic excellence.
