Miyabi Kaizen 1002001 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

The Miyabi Kaizen 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku is a masterwork of Japanese craftsmanship, purpose-built for professional kitchens demanding razor-sharp precision and lasting performance. Its 65-layer flower Damascus blade is anchored by a VG10 (CMV60) super steel core, ice-hardened via the CRYODUR process to 60 Rockwell Hardness for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Each blade is hand-honed by artisans in Seki, Japan using the three-step Honbazuke method, achieving a refined 9.5 to 12 degree katana edge ideal for paper-thin slicing of fish, meat, and vegetables. The hollow edge scallops reduce drag and minimize food sticking during prep, while the traditional D-shaped black linen Micarta handle with mosaic pin and red spacer accents delivers ergonomic control during extended use.
