Miyabi Kaizen II 5000FCD 9.5″ Bread Knife – Damascus Serrated Blade for Clean, Effortless Slicing

Designed to glide effortlessly through crusty bread, soft tomatoes, and delicate pastries, the Miyabi Kaizen II 9.5″ Bread Knife delivers clean, tear-free cuts every time. Combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern steel technology, it’s built for lasting precision and elegance.

At the core is heat-treated FC61 fine-carbide steel, prized for its strength and edge retention. The blade is clad in 48 hand-finished layers of flower-pattern Damascus steel and double ice-hardened (Friodur®) for superior toughness and corrosion resistance. Its finely serrated edge, honed via the Honbazuke method, ensures precise, effortless slicing with minimal crumbs or tearing.

The D-shaped black pakkawood handle, complete with a mosaic pin and stainless steel end cap, provides a secure, comfortable grip. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan—renowned for its centuries-old blade-making tradition—this bread knife is built to last a lifetime.
