Been in the market for a Japanese knife for over a year. Searched high and low, and held many different knives in my hand.....and the winner is Miyabi Birchwood! I was first drawn to the aesthetics, but quickly became a fan of the traditional D shaped Japanese handle, and the SG2 steel which is high on the Rockwell scale, ensuring sharpness and edge retention. The knife is perfectly balanced and extremely comfortable in the hand. Looking forward to adding to this collection.
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
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product came in earlier than expected and has exceeded its expectations by far. It still has a very sharp edge after months of use. I would highly recommend, it is Well worth the investment!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it all the time and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever bought myself. This is my 2nd. Duplicate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Practical aspects - perfectly balanced, comfortable handle, easy to maneuver and very sharp. Artistic aspects - the damascus steel is beautiful and the birch handle is the perfect complement. This knife is a work of art. I am tempted to display it rather than use it but its utility is so high that I will be using this work of art during prep.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Razor sharp, well balanced, and so good looking. Fell in love at first slice. This is now my favorite go to prep knife.
Not only is this knife amazing to work with, it is a work of art. The birchwood handle gives an individuality to my collection. No one will have the exact same one as me. The steel is super sharp and i love the Damascus layering. Its almost too beautiful to use but I do. The quality materials and production makes cooking even more enjoyable than ever.
