[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the most beautiful, elegant knife I own. We live in a coastal community and the is my go to knife for preparing fresh sushi. My only issue is trying to decide which knife I should add to my collection next.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is the 2nd knife as I journey to replace my 4-star collection. This knife is much lighter and well balanced than any knife I used past and present.

Long lasting

As a passionate home cook, I’ve been using the Miyabi Birchwood SG2 knife for over a year now, and it’s become an essential part of my kitchen. The blade’s SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is not only incredibly sharp but also remarkably resilient. I’ve put it through countless chopping sessions, and it still glides through vegetables effortlessly.
The birchwood handle feels comfortable in my hand, and the weight distribution is spot-on. I’ve noticed that with proper care—handwashing, thorough drying, and regular honing—the knife maintains its edge beautifully. It’s like having a reliable culinary companion by my side

Great knife for everyday use.

This knife was everything I expected it to be. Handel feels good in hand even with the real wood, it came a little splintery, and I ended up sanding it slightly but it's probably been in some warehouse for some time. SUPER SHARP out of the box and is really easy to hone.
Box did come slightly damaged like as if someone shook it far to hard but blade was not damaged and I don't blame Zwilling in the slightest. My handle came with a lot of "personality" but they all come different which is cool but I have seen it come kinda plain. I 100% would recommend to someone that knows how to take care of a knife but I wouldn't for beginners or people that wouldn't

Amazing and Miles Ahead

I tried a Kramer and a few other knives and this one blows them all away. After owning this knife for a little while. I picked up a Shun Fuji which is supposedly their best “SG2” knife and it’s not even close. This one is miles ahead. The handle feels elegant and the shape is perfect! I use my left hand to cut and this feels perfect in my hand! The top of the blade feels smooth...I can use this knife for hours! When I want to finely chop my vegetables and give them that artisan cut I choose this knife. The Miyabi Birchwood allows me to chiffonade lettuce with unmatched precision. I can dice and brunoise onions and other vegetables and they look gorgeous! I make Pico de Gallo look like a work of art with this knife. The blades holds its edge amazingly well it’s super sharp absolutely. It’s a work of art that feels natural in the hand. I picked up a Shun Fuji a week ago and it felt really awkward and the handle felt fake compared to this.
This is definitely my go to when I need a precision knife that can make precision cuts

Beautiful knife
on January 9, 2021
Posted by: Risingravity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this knife! After trying dozens of chef knives, this was light and balanced and fit perfectly in my small hand. Some of the wording has come off after years of use, but I expect that to happen.

I couldn't resist the natural finish birchwood handle, so was unprepared for the remarkable performance: sharpness, balance, edge retention
