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.

My daughter loves this...

My daughter loves this prep knife. She is not yet comfortable with an 8" chef so this is one of her go to knives. The blade has a core of VG10 super steel and is protected by 64 layers of additional steel so extremely durable and razor sharp. It is also ice hardened so the knife stays sharper for a longer period of time. She uses it as a chefs knife and can do any job with it.

Super Miyabi Kaizen...

Super Miyabi Kaizen paring/utility knife! Great for so many tasks, including meats, veggies, fruits, hard crust or rind melons and much more! Thin blade, although super-sharp and durable. Beautiful Damascus layers where food won't stick. Can't say enough about Miyabi knives.

This authentic...

This authentic Japanese knife has a very thin blade, with a small edge angle which makes it razor sharp. This incredible sharpness means this little knife can handle everything from oranges and apples, small vegetables or even meats and cheeses. The handle is a durable "wood like" material that can withstand moisture and day-to-day wear and tear.

This paring knife is a little longer than normal making it very versitile. Makes all the paring, peeling and garnishing jobs a breeze. Kaizen knives are impeccable cutting tools made from VG10 steel with 64 layers of Damascus surrounding the core. Each knife is a unique piece of art showing off the excellent Japanese craftsmanship at Miyabi.

Japanese Utility

Beautiful Japanese crafted blade and handle. The larger super sharp 4.5 inch blade permits more uses than a traditional paring knife. In addition to small cutting tasks, it is useful in working with bone-in meats. Comfortable handle with a moisture resistant grip.

My prep knife, utility knife too!

This Kaizen 4.5" Paring & Utility knife is comfortable in my hand, either too small or too large. this size is my prep knife too. The round handle feels like D-shape is enjoyable. It is great to cut medium size food, great for cutting and slicing meat, fruits like cantaloupe, and vegetables. This is a go-to knife for me because I like how I it feels great in my hand and cutting edge is exceptional. Kaizen is VG10 super steel, a golden standard for Miyabi knife, an authentic thin Japanese blade profile, blade, ice-hardened to Rockwell 60 with 65-layer flower Damascus design preventing food from sticking and with katana edge.

I'm cheating on my paring knife.

Amazing knife when you would like a little more than a paring. Like any good Japanese knife, the blade is super sharp and stays sharp a long time, the rounded handle is comfortable. It's lightweight so your hand does not get tired. A great investment.

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.
