This knife is worth every penny. The cutting ability is a dream, it is comfortable to hold in my smaller hands, and the beauty of the knife is exquisite. Everything about the knife screams top quality. I could not be happier. I also purchase the Miyabi Black honing steel in order to keep the very hard steel of this knife sharp at all times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

almost too beautiful to use

This is the most gorgeous knife Ive ever seen. The Miyabi Black collection stands apart from all others. Starting with the handle the black ash wood is full of grain and whorls making each one a truly individual piece. The 133 layer damascus styling on the blade is truly amazing. The watermarking on the edge is a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship harkening back to the traditional Katana blades of the past. The blade is sharpened in the traditional Hombazuke method giving it a razor edge. It holds that edge for a long time and is very easy to maintain. The Santoku shape has a nice straight edge perfect for thin slices and quick chopping.
I have been a fan of Miyabi for years, and have very much enjoyed knives of the Kaizen II and Birchwood SG2 Lines. I was not sure that the price premium for the Black line would be a good value; however, it certainly is. This knife is so comfortable in the hand with perfectly manicured transitions, great balance, and the matte-finish Damascus steel resists slippage, even when wet. Obviously, this knife is extremely sharp, and been holding a great edge so far. Miyabi did it again, I truly enjoy this knife!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A visual masterpiece. Feels like it belongs in your hand. The size, the weight and the beauty makes it the ultimate state of perfection. Extremely sharp. No honing needed at this stage. “ Black “ is my choice in the very impressive lineup already. Truly, the most important tool in the kitchen.

I can't believe that you can actually use something everyday that looks this beautiful. What an absolute piece of art! The blade is gorgeous with 133 layers and an edge that can cut the thinnest slices imaginable yet feels light in the hand and has a perfect balance. The Black Ash handle is not only stunning but feels great in both a right handed as well as a left handed cook.

great knife, shipping could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the knife itself is gorgeous, sharp (did the paper & tomato test) and feels well balanced. sadly, the knife was not properly set in the foam in the box and cut through the end. i cut myself pulling the box out of the actual shipping box because i couldn’t see the edge of the blade. but hey, obviously the edge is sharp and solid! cant wait to get cooking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knife is great, although it is a little too small and light for all day prep.
