Miyabi Kaizen 7-Piece Knife Block Set

Most will say you should buy each knife separately on an as needed basis. This means you buy only what you will use and don't waste any money on 6 extra knives you'll never use. This set solves that problem, since each piece is essential and of the highest quality I've used to date. These are great knives and worth every penny.

These knives don't disappoint!!! They hold there sharpness when cared for properly

High quality. Definitely a show stopper for anyone that's touring my kitchen

These are sharp, prepare yourself. It's not like the use and handling of a regular knife. They slice through everything with ease! It seems like I tear up less when cutting onions with the chef's knife! Be cautious, they slice through skin very easily too.

amazing product and well crafted for daily use !!!

I have been looking at investing in some Japanese cutlery for a while but never had the money to jump in. This is a great starter set that allows me to add more over time. The Kaizen knives feature a comfortable D shaped handle with super sharp high carbon blades. The Damascus style blades really hold an edge for a long time and are easy to maintain. The block comes with a good starter assortment but also leaves several slots for me to add more to my collection in the future.

I received my set and within a few days, one of the small pieces fell off the knife.

This is a great set to start using - or continue using - the next level of premium cutlery. These handcrafted Japanese Kaizen knives have all the features of great knives - exceptional steel that stays sharp while being light and sturdy. These knives will slice and chop meats, vegetables, fruits with ease. This set features the 8-inch chef's, the go-to knife in any kitchen; it also comes with the most appreciated specialty knives - a small paring knife and a great bread knife. The utility knife is just that, a solid all-around knife for smaller tasks. These knives are is a joy to work with. The slim D-shaped handle tucks into the fingers gently letting it glide through foods effortlessly. That's because the 64 layers of molten steel applied over the VG10 steel core hold a tight edge. One stroke and a perfect slice sits before you. 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.

Every knife in this set is one that I use a lot in the kitchen, which makes this set a great value. These knives are very sharp and will retain their sharpness longer due to the VG10 super steel and the special ice-hardening process. Everything is so easy to slice, dice and chop with these and the traditional D-shape handle is so comfortable in my hand, I can work for hours if needed and never get fatigue.

This knife set is so stunning, from all the knives to the bamboo block itself! I was happy to find this set because I love all the knives that are in it, but I also wanted room to put other knives in the block that are not typically included in block sets, like santokus and nakiri knives.
