Dishwasher Safe : No
Inspired by the philosophy of “Kaizen”—Japanese for continual improvement—this MIYABI Kaizen II 5000FCD Bunka Knife blends traditional artistry with cutting-edge craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the blade features a FC61 super steel core, encased in 48 alternating layers of stainless steel that showcase a striking flower Damascus pattern and a wavy katana edge. The steel is further refined through FRIODUR ice-hardening, delivering outstanding hardness (60–62 HRC), corrosion resistance, and durability.
Expert artisans sharpen each blade using the revered Honbazuke technique, yielding an ultra-sharp edge at a precise 9.5°–12° per side. The versatile Bunka blade, with its reversed-tanto K-tip, excels in slicing, dicing, and chopping across vegetables, meat, and fish. The ergonomic octagonal black pakkawood handle, adorned with a mosaic pin, red decorative ring, and logo end-cap, delivers balance, style, and lasting comfort.
