[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.
[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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just a home cook here, but I love a good set of sharp knifes that do the cutting for me instead of strength. These knifes are beautiful, share and most importantly feel safe but sturdy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the sharpest knives I have ever used. I can now chop and cut without using any effort at all - the weight of the knife does all of the work!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely good quality - lightweight with a good feel in my hand. Simply a pleasure to use! For chefs who take care of their tools and appreciate them, it's worth the price. I looked around to upgrade from my Wusthof set for many years and I made the right choice. They are beautiful!
