Using traditional Samurai forging techniques since the 14th century the city of Seki is the birthplace of the Miyabi brand, taking 100 steps and 42 days to create each blade. The manufacturing techniques employed produce knives with durable and precise cutting edges which is the foundation of the Miyabi brand. The Miyabi 5000FCD Santoku Knife has a plain edge and is 18cm in length. The octagonal pakka wood handle gives a well balanced and comfortable grip with a wonderful mosaic pin providing a wonderfully aesthetic finish to a beautifully crafted blade. The Ice- hardened FC61 steel used for the FRIODUR blade of the Santoku is wrapped in 48 layers of steel to create a Damascus design. Honed on both sides using the Honbazuke technique making it ideal as a multi-purpose blade. Santoku is the 3 in 1 blade for meat, fish and vegetables, " San" which means 3 in Japanese represents its versatility in use across all the three main food groups. This being 18cm in blade length makes it the perfectly sized Santoku within the 5000FCD range. The blade as its name suggests makes it the most versatile and effective blade for almost any use within the kitchen.

It is absolutely beautiful, as are all things Japanese, especially those that have ancient traditions. I believe these knives were made in the same manner as Samurai Swords. Although, I have no intention of cutting someone's head off, just the thought of how old this forging process is puts me in awe. Very sharp. I'm not sure if this is a complaint but the Damascus pattern seems a little chipped or frayed on the end of the blade near the handle. However, it is hand made.

This knife meets all the criteria I expect from high-quality Japanese steel. It’s comfortable to hold and super light.There aren’t a lot of retailers where I live and I went to a shop expecting them to only carry German knives, was very excited to find this knife for only $30 more.

We are a vegetable focused family and I needed a knife to make all the copping required for our diet not to seem like such a chore.This knife makes cutting vegies such a pleasure. The edge is fine enough to get super narrow slices yet strong enough to tackle those pesky squashes. Stays sharp for a long time with proper honing.The damascus layering is really pretty and seems to create a slight non-stick property to the blade. Cucumbers and potatoes fall away easily.

Wow. So inpressed. I’ve recently recieved the knife as a Christmas gift. I’ll admit to some skepticism about expensive knives but this was fantastic right out of the box. I cut through meat effortlessly. I’m looking forward to the next few years of use.
I received this knife as a wedding gift and I must say it is not only the most attractive but the nicest knife I’ve ever used. Fantastic for chopping vegetables and so far after used for a couple months it is still incredibly sharp. The only thing it lacks I would say is a sheath or a carrying case for it. I moved some knives around in my knife block and made a spot for it.
The first time I used this knife, I knew it would become my everything knife, replacing my existing Henckels chef and santoku knives in my everyday cooking life. I am not a chef, but a very accomplished home cook. My knives are my pride and joy, preferring them over a mandolin or other means of cutting and chopping. I played at first, seeing how thin I could cut a tomato. Wow!This knife was a gift from my step-son who knows how much I love to cook.
Wow what a knife, excellent craftmanship and attention to detail. A must have for anyone who enjoys cooking from humble part timer to seasoned professional.
If you liked the sharpness of the original Kaizen, but found the handle a little foreign, then it might be time to reconsider the Kaizen line. The handle and the bolster were beefed up to provide more feedback with a firm pinch grip. The 49-layers of steel are hand finished to an extremely sharp edge that holds. It has a double Damascus pattern that is stunning.This santoku blade shape is set at just the right angle so that when you are chopping the knife finishes the downward motion automatically.
I purchased my Miyabi Kaizen II 7” Santoku as a beginner. I tested it out in-store and fell in love with its balance, weight, grip, and precise cutting ability. This knife is razor sharp, and has a good balance of sturdiness and flexibility. Can’t wait to grow my collection!
The knife comes with a 61+ Rockwell Hardness rating, and in all of my knife reviews, this is the hardest knife I have seen to date.The knife is a full tang, so you can rest assured it’s better for users and less susceptible to breaking, which, let’s face it, when you are spending money on a quality knife, it’s a good thing to know.Looks-wise, it has a beautiful flower pattern making it visually appealing for pros and new users alike. The lines in the knife handle are unique and give it a very distinguished look.The octagonal handle is a great tribute to custom knife making and precision. If you are looking for a good entry-level knife at an affordable price point, this is it.
