[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how soft the handles are and how light the knives feel in my hand. I am a knife collector and been looking for new kitchen knives and these were a great gift.

Craftsmanship

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well overall product is great. I love the weight in the handle and the roundness of it. Definitely some great aesthetic with the shuttle red strip and the burl of the birch wood. My only concern would be the birch wood moisture absorption from cleaning over time. A good linseed oil or some mineral spirits wild help the longevity of the handle. I hope not to ever buy another knife set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These knives = freedom & desire

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The birch handle knife set is absolutely gorgeous in the kitchen, fabulous feel in the hand, and superior performance to any knife set I’ve ever used in my 40+ years of passionate cooking.
It’s like the new car feel that doesn’t wear off. They make me want to cook! They’re so excellent to use that I’m more creative with the meals I prepare, as well as prepping faster and presentation off the charts.
From paper thin cucumber & onion slices to a perfectly diced sweet potato and gliding right through a London broil… perfection!
You won’t be disappointed with how these knives turn up the heat in your kitchen skills!

A work of art

Frequency of use:Daily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A beautiful set of razor sharp knives. Each knife is a work of art by a master craftsman. The set has the basics but I will add the 9” slicer and have added another utility knife. I just hope I can keep the razor sharp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The handles were unfinished and rough wood (separate knives we ordered from this same set were a finished handle as were the ones we got years ago). Several knives were also bent. Would NOT buy these again, quality has tanked.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best knives I ever used

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Handle is very comfortable, the blade has a beautiful damascus pattern and is extremely sharp. I can't speak on edge retention because I haven't used it enough yet, but SG2 steel is supposed to have some of the best edge retention out there.
These knives are japanese style, so they are sharper than western knives, but have thinner steel, so they are a bit more fragile. If you handle them with care they will treat you well.
I just wish miyabi sold more products for caring for the wood handle. Birchwood is a great handle wood but it stains easily and needs to be treated to avoid absorbing food liquids. A good cutting board oil or wax goes a long way in making these types of knife last longer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
