Miyabi Kaizen Slicing Knife

This is a specialized slicing knife designed for long, clean cuts. It excels at carving roasts, slicing poultry, or portioning delicate proteins where you need to move the blade in a single, smooth motion rather than a rocking chop.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-performance VG10 steel and the Pakkawood handle require hand washing and immediate drying to prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of the materials.

VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. With a hardness rating of 60 HRC, it offers exceptional edge retention, meaning you will need to sharpen it less frequently than standard kitchen knives.

Beyond its striking visual pattern, the Damascus layering provides structural support to the hard VG10 core. It adds durability and flexibility to the blade, helping to prevent chipping or snapping during precise slicing tasks.

Yes, the handle is ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in the hand, providing a secure and comfortable grip. Pakkawood is also moisture-resistant, which ensures the handle remains stable and hygienic even during heavy prep work.

While longer than a standard chef's knife, this length is intentional for slicing. The knife is engineered with balanced weight distribution, which provides the necessary leverage and control to make smooth, accurate cuts without feeling unwieldy.
