Is this the same knife as the Fusion, but with a traditional Japanese handle Please explain any other differences: i.e. Rockwell hardness of steel, thickness or geometry of blade, etc

The blade of the kaizen is from the 5000 line and while it has a similar look to the fusion, the fusion line is from an inferior 600 line and not all the spines are rounded on the 600 line for comfort like the kaizen line. The kaizen bladed are stronger and have better edge retention.
