Amazing Gyuto

I’ve had my eyes on this knife for a few months now and I am so excited to finally own it! The handle feels much more comfortable than the original Kaizen due to its slightly rounded shape. The sharpness is great as expected. I can’t wait to use it more!

Finally got the one I had my eye on for a while!

Beautifully crafted blade, well balanced knife, and it fits perfectly in my hand. I was a little worried that it might be too big or bulky feeling like a lot of knives of the same size, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the knife felt natural in my smaller hand. Will definitely be adding a few different ones to the collection soon!!

Perfect Balance

My husband gifted me the Miyabi Kaizen II to replace my older chef knife and it has been the best gift so far. Cooking is a hobby of mine and I love to use tools in the kitchen that are great quality. This knife not only looks amazing but chops, dice and slices effortlessly. It’s is the perfect chef knife!
