[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first knife I received was bent thus I sent it back. Today I finally received my second one and it looks fantastic. I tried cutting a magazine paper and this just goes right through without any catching. Out of the box, it might even be sharper than my carbon zKramer. I haven’t had it for a full day yet so cannot comment on the durability and edge retention.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend who is a passionate home cook and I took a knife skills class years ago in Calgary canada. I remember trying out dozens of different knives with different styles of blades, handles, weights etc. The winner was this Miyabi Birchwood SG2 8-inch Chef's Knife. Wasn't able to pick up at the time unfortunately but never forgotten. Years later our friends gave this to us as a Christmas gift and we couldn't be happier. Beautiful to look at and hold!! Nice comfortable weight and the sharpest blade ever! Will be our forever knife!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been an admirer of Damascus knives they are functional work of art. These knives come finally hand honed and are exceptionally sharp. They make food prep of vegies and soft proteins effortless. They do require extra care than run of the mill cutlery but will last a very long time with proper care. Looking forward to adding additional knives in the future to my collection. Did I mention that the birchwood is shape, be extra careful while using this cutlery.
