CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBring precision, elegance, and time-honored Japanese craftsmanship to your kitchen with the Henckels Miyabi Kaizen 2-Piece Knife Set. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan—renowned for centuries of sword and knife making—this stunning set bundles together two of the most essential knives every cook needs: a 6-inch chef’s knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife.
The 6-inch chef’s knife offers reliable performance for everyday tasks like chopping, dicing, and mincing, while the 3.5-inch paring knife delivers nimble control for peeling, garnishing, and precision prep work. Whether you're segmenting citrus or slicing vegetables, this duo offers versatility and balance in every cut.
At the heart of each blade is revolutionary FC61 fine carbide steel, known for its ultra-sharp edge retention and superior toughness. The core is encased in 48 layers of stainless steel, forming a mesmerizing flower Damascus pattern, dramatically enhanced through an acid-dipping process. For added strength, each blade is double ice-hardened using the FRIODUR technique, achieving a Rockwell hardness of 61 and remarkable corrosion resistance.
Every edge is meticulously hand-honed to a razor-sharp 9.5 to 12 degrees using the traditional Honbazuke method, a meticulous four-step sharpening process that transforms each knife into a tool of surgical precision.
Balancing the blade is a traditional D-shaped black Pakkawood handle, ergonomically designed for comfort and control during long prep sessions. The handle features a mosaic pin, rounded bolster, and MIYABI logo end cap—offering both visual appeal and enhanced functionality.
