[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These knives look beautiful on our kitchen counter and they feel great in your hand. Balanced feel and very sharp for easy use prepping meats or vegetables.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality and appearance of these knives are second to none. I don’t know why I waited so long to upgrade my knife collection. If you are on the fence, these are the best of the best!
[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.
