Miyabi Kaizen Knives (Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better") feature 32 layers clad on each side of an VG-10 "super steel" core, creating a beautiful Damascus flower pattern. Each blade is hand-honed using a traditional three-step honbazuke process, which are then Cryodur ice-hardened for enhanced hardness and flexibility. The handles are black micarta, which are accented with a mosaic pin, red spacers, and metal end cap.
