If you demand professional precision in the kitchen, demand Zwilling J. A. Henckels Miyabi Kaizen knives. This stunning, magnificent paring knife makes peeling, cleaning, cutting, and garnishing fruits or vegetables an effortless task. The Miyabi Kaizen collection features a 65-layer construction made up of a core of VG10 (CMV60) high performance steel, protected by 64 more layers of Damascus steel. Each Miyabi Kaizen knife undergoes ice-hardening and results in a 60 Rockwell Hardness, ensuring outstanding durability, high corrosion resistance, and flexibility of the blade. Made in Japan, an artisan hand-hones the Katana edge, which is set at the traditional Japanese blade angle of 9. 5 to 12 degrees. The extremely fine blade edge is designed to reflect precision and power. Miyabi Kaizen is even further complemented by its ergonomic, D-shape Micarta handle, featuring a mosaic pin, metal end cap, and red spacer accents. Whether you are chopping meats and vegetables or making a delicate plate of sushi, the Miyabi Kaizen collection provides a fine edge, superior quality, and adherence to tradition.

Longer Paring Knife

Love having the 4.5 length on the blade. Great for removing silver skin from pork and beef. Particularly useful when trimming fat from brisket. Just the right size to glide through the fat packet. Great for paring, and slicing vegetables. The shape of a mini chef's knife which makes it perfect for smaller cutting jobs in the kitchen. Japanese steel, really holds and edge, and the D shaped handle offers a comfortable grip.

great shape paring knife

This is a very good paring knife. The slim D shaped handle is comfortable to hold while working in hand. The Micarta handle is very light. The blade is very sharp. The Super Steel construction stays sharp for a very long time and is easy to maintain. The Damascus style pattern is very unique and shows the Japanese craftsmanship and artistry put into this knife.

Stiff, Super-sharp & Tough!

Great Japanese carbide VG-10 (long known as Japanese fantastic knife steel) in a well-weighted, perfect paring knife. Micarta handle is nearly indestructible..

The Miyabi Kaizen...

The Miyabi Kaizen paring knives are both elegant to use and beautiful to look at. The slim D-shaped handle tucks into the fingers confidently. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through delicate fruits and hearty peels effortlessly. That's because the 64 layers of molten steel applied over the VG10 steel core hold a tight edge. Less work for more precise cuts. Adding to the enjoyment of this phenomenal cutting tool is its beauty. The Damascus-style polishing showing the layers and the linen Micarta handle with finishing details combine to make using and owning this knife a joy.

Great paring knife

This is a great paring knife because it is a little longer than the typical and the handle is tapered so that it is easy to hold and very comfortable to use. The blade has a beautiful design and you can tell the fine craftsmanship that was put into the design.

A perfectly sized paring knife made with high carbon Steel. The Miyabi Kaizen line is a traditional look and feel for a Japanese knife. the D shaped handle feels very comfortable in the right hand but may feel more movement for a left handed chef.

I love the Damascus...

I love the Damascus pattern on the blade. Additionally, this blade is very sharp due to the quality of steel used during construction. This pairing knife is perfect for peeling, slicing, and dicing small vegetables and fruits!

Super Sharp

This paring knife is made from a VG10 steel core and honed to an razor sharp 9 to 12 degree angle. Because of the quality of the steel it will retain that sharp edge use after use. The handle is slightly longer than some paring knives so you will get a nice secure grip. The Micarta handle has an authentic wood look without the downfalls of wood such as swelling and cracking.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
