The 6 inch chef's knife is wonderful for every day use. The look is very true to Japanese style cutlery. This line is made of high quality steel with a very comfortable handle and nice Damascus pattern on the blade. It is a great mix of quality and beauty.

Miyabi Kaizen makes a superb line of knives! This 6" Chef feels good and not too heavy since I have smaller hands. Made from the Cryodur process that keeps the blade sharp and durable. The 65 layers of Damascus steel make for a flower pattern that is stunning with a edge that remains sharp for years.

The Kaizen series are great Japanese knives. They are handcrafted in Japan and honed to an impressive 9.5 to 12 degree edge. The VG10 super steel is capable of retaining this razor sharp edge use after use. When I use this knife I can get the thinnest slices and work quickly and comfortably because it is so accurate and makes slicing easy.

This is one beautiful knife and oh so functional. It will do anything an 8" chefs knife can do. The blade has a core of VG10 super steel and is protected by 64 layers of additional steel. It is also ice hardened so the knife stays sharper for a longer period of time. The knife is razor sharp and glides through even the toughest of vegetables. The handle is a comfortable, classic Japanese, D sharped handle.

great little chef

I am in love, this delicate 6" chef knife feels so elegant and cuts like a dream. The steel that they use in this knife is so strong, my husband works around metal and was so impressed that it could be used in such a beautiful fashion. The handle is smooth, sits back the perfect amount from the blade edge and the Damascus jacket protecting the hard center steel is so rich looking! A knife to cherish for a lifetime!

This 6" Chef is an ample sized knife for every day needs in the kitchen. Longer and wider than a prep knife this can still do the small work such as mincing and dicing but can also take on bigger items like acorn squash, leeks and onions. 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.

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.
