Description

The Miyabi Kaizen Bread Knife is sharp enough to slice through tough crusts while still producing full, even slices. The scalloped edge makes cutting crusty bread and cake easily, allowing you to glide through without creating excessive crumbs and also works well to slice large fruit such as pineapple or watermelon. The Miyabi Kaizen collection combines the best hardening technology with the artistry of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The resilient core of VG10 super steel (5000DP) is protected by a stunning 64-layer flower Damascus pattern. The Cryodur blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Artisans hand-hone the blades with the historic Honbazuke method. This attention to detail translates into precision cutting for Miyabi Kaizen users. 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.
