Miyabi Kaizen 10 Piece Knife Block Set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have finally completed my set! After getting my first 5000D 6 years ago, I finally replaced my Wusthof Classic set with a 10 pc Kaizen set. Opening the box was like Christmas Day! So sharp, so comfortable in the hand!!! I love them. My 6 year old Santoku still looks brand new. It is a perfect match to the new knives!!!

We all contributed to purchase this for my brother-in-law who is a chef. It was what he wanted and delighted that he received Miyabi Kaizen 10 piece Block Set. Bought this several months ago & he still raves about the quality of this Japanese made set.

What I love the most with these Miyabi Kaizen set, it has everything a Chef would ask for to have in their kitchen for every cooking needs. It is sharp and functionality is awesome..!!! I'd use this every day and never needed a lot of sharpening because it stays sharp as long that you honed it once in a while. Don't forget A VG10 super steel Japanese knife, it is sharp and has 65-layer Damascus flower design. This exquisite, hand-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. Hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge.katana edge and a CRYODUR blade, ice-hardened to Rockwell 60. The blade is balanced by a refined D-shaped handle made of black linen Micarta.

If you're considering investing in a top of the line knife block this should be one you consider. This set of Miyabi Kaizen knives has each blade profile you need in your busy kitchen and the will stay sharp and look beautiful for lifetime(s) of enjoyment. the VG10 "super steel" core is made to stay sharper longer and then with 64 additional layers of steel to create a gorgeous damascus design you'll marvel each time you pull one out of the block. With an authentic thin Japanese blade and an edge between 9.5 and 12 degrees you will notice the difference!

This is a great set. The Kaizen knives have a cool Damascus pattern on the blade. The layering of the high carbon steel really makes a great blade. It stays sharp for a very long time and is very easy to maintain. The handle design and insignia add an artistry to the look and are very comfortable to hold. The bamboo block compliments them well and I love how there are extra slots to add more knives.

I have had the knifes for about five months. They are the best knifes I have ever owned. They are very Sahara and fits well in your hand. I used the carving knife on Thanksgiving, it made carving so easy. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This beautiful set of Japanese knives has features that are true to it's Japanese heritage. The D shaped handle, with the signature Miyabi logo on the end cap, rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. It's made out of a very durable material called micarta; which is a linen and resin mixture. It's awesome because you get the look and feel of wood with the durable of a synthetic material. The blade is a 65 layer damacus that protects the VG10 core. This makes it very hard which gives it incredible edge retention, plus durability. If you want an authentic Japanese knife, end your search with Miyabi. They are made and sold in Japan as the premium knife.

They were serious when this was named Kaizen or "change for the better!" This is a huge step up and obvious improvement from any other knife block set you may have had! This set will last a lifetime and then can be passed on. A few extra slots for adding in a couple of other knives you own or buy. The handles are smooth and feel great with super control, while the design is the Damascus flower and so beautiful. Sharp, stays sharp and has good balance for great cutting.

Kaizen knives are some of the best. They are world class knives, owned and enjoyed by professionals and home cooks alike. This set has a great selection of knives - enough that you will want for nothing. (Well maybe one or two more.) It features great everyday knives - the 8 and 6-inch chef's, 5-inch santoku - so that more than one person can work with a great knife in the kitchen. It also has all the best specialty knives - a great bread knife, a superb slicing knife, and smaller knives for peeling, coring and garnishing. Adding to the enjoyment of this phenomenal cutting tool is its beauty. The Damascus-style polishing showing the layers and the linen Micarta handle with finishing details combine to make using and owning this knife a joy. Hone regularly. Hand wash. This knife will be sharp and beautiful for a lifetime.

I absolutely love this knife collection. I love the look of the blade and the pattern look of the 64 layers of steel of this knife. The handle is nicely rounded, really feels nice with the Micarta wood handle. It has a really nice weight to it, and I can cut with ease and comfort. I have had a lot of different style knives that I used in the kitchen, but this is one collection that I always go back to, I just love everything about it so the block set is perfect.
