Miyabi Kaizen Paring Knife

This knife is designed for intricate kitchen tasks that require precision, such as peeling, trimming, and dicing small fruits and vegetables. Its compact size and lightweight build make it ideal for detailed prep work that a larger chef's knife cannot handle comfortably.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the integrity of the high-performance steel and the Micarta handle, you should always wash it by hand and dry it immediately after use.

The D-shaped handle is ergonomically contoured to fit naturally in your palm, providing a secure and comfortable grip. This shape helps improve control and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like peeling or coring.

VG10 super steel is significantly harder and more durable than standard stainless steel, allowing for a much sharper, thinner edge that retains its keenness longer. With a Rockwell hardness of 60, this blade is designed to hold a precise edge through extensive use.

The steep 9.5-12° bevel angle is what gives this knife its exceptional sharpness. This traditional, hand-honed edge allows the blade to glide through produce with minimal resistance, ensuring clean, effortless cuts.

The Flower Damascus pattern is created by layering 32 layers of stainless steel on each side of the core. Beyond its striking visual appeal, this construction adds structural support and durability to the high-performance VG10 steel core.
