This is a really great Japanese steak knife. I love the aesthetic of these Japanese steak knives and how beautiful the 64 layers of VG10 steel is on the blade. Even though the layers are pronounced in that beautiful flower Damascus design, it’s also more subtitled in comparison to the Miyabi Kaizen II blades.The Kaizen has a beautiful blade and the Micarta wood handle feels really smooth in hand, and has a nice roundness to it. With the blade having 64 layers of steel, you can really feel how much of a difference that makes when cutting through your steaks. They also come in a wooden presentation box, for easy and safe storage.
