The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Miyabi Kaizen 2 8-inch chef's knife offers long-lasting sharpness, edge retention, and durability. Its core is wrapped in 48 alternating layers of stainless steel, forming a stunning Spark Damascus pattern. The ergonomic handle with a curved bolster provides exceptional comfort and ease of use. A beautiful brass-colored pin and spacers not only add to the knife's aesthetics but also give it extra weight. FRIODUR*2 hardening enhances the steel's microstructure, improving cutting performance, corrosion resistance, and durability. This knife is hand-sharpened using a 3-step honbazuke process. It's handcrafted in Seki, Japan, and should be hand-washed only. The Miyabi Hibana collection blade features a 49-layer Spark Damascus pattern that strengthens and protects the FC61 steel core. The triple-riveted handle has a curved, ergonomic bolster for a comfortable pinch grip. Sleek black and brass spacers on the handle enhance its beauty and weight, promoting stability in hand and maneuverability at the tip. The Nakiri type is perfect for chopping, slicing, and dicing fruits and vegetables like a pro.

Using your Zwilling J.A. Henckels Miyabi Kaizen 2 chef's knife is a breeze. Whether you're chopping onions, slicing tomatoes, or dicing carrots, this knife is designed to make your kitchen tasks easier. Just hold the handle with a pinch grip for maximum control. When it comes to maintenance, always hand-wash the knife with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately to prevent rust. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher as the harsh chemicals and high heat can damage the blade and handle. Also, store the knife in a knife block or a sheath to protect the blade. If the knife becomes dull over time, you can have it professionally sharpened using a 3-step honbazuke process, just like it was originally sharpened. With proper care, your knife will last for many years and continue to provide excellent cutting performance.
