Miyabi Kaizen 8-Inch Chef's Knife

B
Ranked #9 in Chef's Knives
Backed by 2 cited sources
Covered by 2 outlets

The affordable route into Miyabi: a VG10 super-steel core Cryodur-hardened to 60 HRC with a thin Japanese profile and beautiful Damascus finish, usually under $150. Excellent for the money, though the harder, thinner blade demands more careful treatment than a German knife.
