Kaizen means “improvement’ or “change for the better” in Japanese—that bodes well for Miyabi's Kaizen knives. Manufactured in Seki, Japan, in a process that includes hardening done in a vacuum furnace, cryogenic treatment, and hand-honing of the blade, they combine both German and Japanese knife-making traditions. We’re mesmerized by the blade’s stunning, textured pattern and the easy-to-grip Micarta handles feel smooth and sure in our hands. Mise-en-place, prepare thyself.

Miyabi
Seki, Japan
When it comes to knives, it's all in the details; that's why our Test Kitchen Chef loves the ones made by Miyabi. Each hand-honed blade goes through a 4-step hardening process, leaving you with perfectly cut herbs, meat, and... anything you can eat, really. The signature Japanese character on the steel reminds you that these are made in Seki, Japan—aka, the samurai sword-making capital of the world.

Just ok
It doesn't have a balanced weight for me and hasn't held it's edge as well as my Zweilling knives.
