This knife is not only incredibly sharp but also stunning. It's light, holds an edge amazingly, and is razor sharp. Looking forward to my next Miyabi birchwood!
The knife is absolutely stunning! The weight of the knife is great, and the edge cuts so much better than any of my other knives. Very happy with this purchase!
This is the second Birchwood chef knife I have purchased. Mom took the first one the moment she laid her eyes on it, and had to get a second one. Both of us love this knife, and you just have to be careful not to cut bones or frozen stuff with it.
Extremely sharp out of the box. I have been using Japanese knives for 8 years. Couple of shuns, Tojiro and yaxells. Also own a miyabi kaizen 9 inch chef knife. But the birchwood triumphs them all in terms of craftsmanship, looks and sharpness.
