Kaizen II Japanese 4.5-inch Utility Knife, Versatile Kitchen Knife, Black Pakkawood Handle, 48-Layer Flower Damascus Pattern, Handrafted in Seki, Japan

High quality knife. Love the look and feel. Extremely sharp.

What an awesome knife. These knives are so different than typical 20 degree knives and there’s a learning curve. Once you understand how to use, the experience is other level.

I have had the Nikiri and the 6” Chef knife for a while. I wasn’t sure I needed the utility knife but I actually use it every day. Perfect for small fruits and veggies. Cutting cheese and pepperoni/sausage. I definitely recommend this knife and the entire Miyabi Kaisan ii line-up.

This knife is a great size for working with vegetables and such. I love the Miyabi Kaizen II line of knives. They are super sharp and hold a great edge. Too bad the line was discontinued.

Excellent knife.

Light and sharp. it's what makes prep work a pleasure. I use a ceramic honing rod to keep it ready for action.
