If you demand professional precision in the kitchen, demand Zwilling J. A. Henckels Miyabi Kaizen knives. This stunning, magnificent Chutoh/utility knife makes cleaning and carving fish and meat 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.

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.

great prep knife

This is my new fav. The size fits right in between my paring knife and chefs knife. The handle is light and very comfortable to hold. The Japanese crafted blade is beautiful and functional. The layered super steel makes a strong sharp blade that holds an edge for a long time. The design of the blade and handle show the true craftsmanship that are put into this knife. I use it for all of my vegetable prep and as a small slicer for cheese.

The Miyabi Kaizen 6...

The Miyabi Kaizen 6-inch utility is an extremely versatile knife. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through both delicate and hearty foods beautifully. The slim D-shaped handle tucks into the fingers confidently to clean fish and shellfish, slice meats, vegetables and fruits. This knife makes precise cutting easy. That's because the 64 layers of molten steel applied over the VG10 steel core hold a tight edge. 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. Hone regularly. Hand wash. This knife will be sharp and beautiful for a lifetime.

This is a great Japanese utility knife. It has a scalpel-like blade that is super sharp and a great handle that fits well in any hand. This knife is perfect for slicing, dicing, and even small carving jobs! It is a great "utility" knife.

This knife is super...

This knife is super sharp and has a great blade to handle ratio making it feel secure and sturdy while cutting. The core is VG10 super steel which ranks high on getting sharp, staying sharp, corrosion resistance and durability. The black linen Micarta handle has a wood grain appearance with none of the downfalls of wood like swelling or cracking. Somewhere between a chef's knife and a paring knife this utility knife slices easily through your cutting tasks from fruits and vegetable to even sandwich making.

This razor sharp blade...

This razor sharp blade does it all in the kitchen. It has a core of VG10 super steel and is protected by 64 layers of additional steel, creating a beautiful Damascus pattern. It is also ice hardened so the knife stays sharper for a longer period of time. The knife really feels like a chefs knife so its one of my daughters favorite knives to use as she is just learning knife skills.

If you don't own a Miyabi yet, you need to try one like the Kaizen 6" utility knife. All Miyabi knives are known for their superior quality and well made craftsmanship. They are made in Seki, Japan, this one with a 64-layer Damascus design and black linen Micarta handle, that looks and feels like wood. They cut like a dream and are aesthetically stunning!

It's the knife that...

It's the knife that can handle small fruits and vegetables with it's scalpel-like sharp blade. Perfect for when an 8" knife is simply too big. I also love using it for meats and cheeses. It's a true Japanese knife with it's super thin blade with the very small Asian edge angle. The very hard VG10 steel gives it incredible edge retention. The small, curved handle fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and is made from a very durable material. It looks and feels like wood, but can handle moisture and wear like synthetic material.

Impeccable cutting tool 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. This utility knife has a longer handle and a nice thin blade for great balance and stability. Good for mincing, dicing and garnishing, this is a awesome addition to your knife collection.

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.
