The Miyabi Kaizen II 9.5-inch chef's knife is a Japanese-made, Western-handled gyuto with a 48-layer Damascus-clad FC61 steel blade hardened to about 62 HRC. The long blade gives generous clearance for rocking through big batches of vegetables and proteins, and the hard core holds a very keen edge. It sits above Miyabi's entry Koh series in steel and finish, and below the birch-handled 5000MCD. Reviewers praise its sharpness and balance, but some owners note the hard, thin edge needs care and the Pakkawood handle can feel slick when wet.
