Miyabi Kaizen 4.5″ Utility Knife

Miyabi's Kaizen series combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The<span></span>VG10 core steel is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. The Cryodur<span></span>blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta. With a wood-like texture, the comfortable handle won't slip from your hand and acts as a moisture repellent. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.<table><tr><td><p><strong>Blade</strong></p></td><td><p>64<span></span>Layers Damascus Patterned Cryodur Stainless-Steel</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Edge</strong></p></td><td><p>Ice-hardened VG10 (CMV60)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>HRC</strong></p></td><td><p>60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Bevel (Angle Ratio)</strong></p></td><td><p>Double (50:50)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Handle</strong></p></td><td><p>D-Shaped,<span></span>Black Micarta</p></td></tr></table><p><em>Dishwasher not recommended</em></p>
