Miyabi 1008486 Kaizen 6-Inch Utility Knife with Black Linen Micarta Handle

The Miyabi Kaizen 6-inch utility knife brings together Japanese craftsmanship and cutting-edge metallurgy for professional kitchens demanding precision. Its VG-10 super steel core is ice-hardened through the CRYODUR process to Rockwell 60, then wrapped in a stunning 65-layer flower Damascus pattern that delivers both exceptional edge retention and visual distinction. Artisans hand-hone every blade using the three-step Honbazuke method to a razor-sharp 9.5-to-12-degree edge, yielding the thin, agile profile characteristic of authentic Japanese knives. The D-shaped black linen Micarta handle provides a secure, moisture-resistant grip during extended prep work, balancing the 10-inch overall length perfectly. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife is built for cooks who refuse to compromise on quality or performance.
