Overview
A countertop block is where this Miyabi Kaizen II set lives, holding a chef knife, a bread knife, a utility knife and a paring knife with kitchen shears and a honing steel in a bamboo block.
Reason to buy is the full kit in a matching Damascus finish, from the chef and bread knives to shears and a steel. The limitation is its footprint and weight, along with the absence of a hardness rating or edge angle.
Who it's for
Home cooks who want the essential four knives in a showpiece block get everything except steak knives. Minimalists and small kitchens will find the block bulky.
Pros and cons
- Four core knives plus shears
- Honing steel included
- Bamboo block included
- Forged FC61 core
- No steak knives or boning knife
- Block needs counter space
- Hardness and edge angle not listed
Performance notes
Each blade has a forged FC61 core surrounded by layers of stainless, with a flower Damascus pattern darkened by acid. The honing steel realigns edges between sharpenings, and Honbazuke hand honing sets the factory edge. Handles are made of black Pakkawood.
