MIYABI strives for perfection with Kaizen—Japanese for “improvement” or “change for the better.” This collection of knives combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The 8-inch chef’s knife is a reliable, all-rounder knife, perfect for almost every kitchen task. Chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with this workhorse blade.

The resilient core of VG10 super steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. The CRYODUR® blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Then, artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic 3-step Honbazuke method.

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, Kaizen scalpel-like blades are balanced by a refined 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. 

  • Resilient core of VG10 super steel creates a razor-sharp blade

Reviews & Questions
MIYABI Kaizen 20-cm_8.00-inch 8-inch, Chef's Knife - Visual Imperfections no-color is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like the way this knife lays in my hand; it is just the right size and weight for me. The super steel, VG10, produces a knife that is razor sharp, has an acute edge and the special ice-hardening process, gives this knife durability and sharpness retention. It is gorgeous as well. The handle is made of linen micarta which has a beautiful wood look to it, but is moisture resistant which is great for kitchen work. Love this knife!
