Miyabi Kaizen II 7" Santoku

Experience precision and beauty in the kitchen with the Miyabi Kaizen II 7" Santoku, an all-purpose Asian-style knife designed to master meat, fish, and vegetables. Its relatively straight edge from heel to tip supports the traditional Japanese push cut, making slicing effortless and consistent.

In the Kaizen II collection, "Kaizen" means improvement — a promise of better performance through craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city renowned for the finest cutlery, these blades blend time-honored Japanese technique with modern design and high-tech hardening.

At the heart lies a resilient FC61 core, layered and protected by 48 layers of stainless steel. The blade showcases a striking flower Damascus pattern, dramatically darkened through acid dipping for a bold, sophisticated look that rivals its unparalleled edge.

Performance is engineered for lasting bite: a double FRIODUR ice-hardening process enhances corrosion resistance and edge durability. Artisans hand-hone every blade using the venerable four-step Honbazuke method, delivering exceptional sharpness and precision right out of the box.

Whether you’re slicing fish, trimming meat, or dicing vegetables, the Miyabi Kaizen II Santoku offers a flawless balance of beauty and function — a work of culinary art that elevates every kitchen task.
