Miyabi Kaizen Paring/Utility Knife

This versatile knife from the Miyabi Kaizen collection combines features of a paring knife and a utility knife. The narrow blade and centered tip make it suitable for peeling, coring, and pitting. The length of the blade allows it to handle bigger slicing and chopping tasks as well.

"Kaizen" is Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better." The Miyabi Kaizen collection strives for perfection with attention to detail for precision cutting. The blade is made from a VG10 super steel core with a 64-layer Damascus pattern. The ice-hardened CRYODUR blade undergoes a four-step hardening process. The finished blade features a hand-honed edge and 60 Rockwell hardness for exceptional edge retention. The black linen Micarta handle is D-shaped for a comfortable grip and includes a steel end cap. Each Miyabi knife undergoes a Honbazuke three-step honing process for exceptional sharpness. Made in Japan.
