Miyabi Kaizen 9.5-Inch Bread Knife

Miyabi Kaizen 9.5-Inch Bread Knife. Give bread its own cutting tool. A bread knife works through the crust with a steady back-and-forth stroke, helping you portion loaves without relying on heavy downward pressure that compresses the crumb.

At a glance

• Bread-cutting profile

  Use a gentle sawing motion and allow the edge to work through the crust before completing the slice.

• VG10 steel core

  A VG10 cutting core and layered Damascus exterior give Kaizen its characteristic patterned blade.

• Linen Micarta handle

  Black linen Micarta forms the traditional D-shaped handle, with a visible layered texture.

• Room for a longer stroke

  The longer blade gives more cutting travel. Leave clear space around the board to use that length comfortably.

Find your fit

Allow room on both sides of the loaf for the blade’s stroke. A stable cutting board and a supported loaf matter as much as length; keep your guiding fingers above the cutting path. Our guides help you choose a bread knife for your loaf and pick a suitable cutting board.

Care and storage

Hand-wash and dry promptly. Store with the edge protected, and use a sharpening service or method suited to the serrations instead of treating the edge like a straight knife.
