[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Besides the aesthetical beauty of this piece, this is an incredibly sharp knife that holds it's sharpness better than any other knife in my collection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sharp out of the box. Handle is heavier than I'm used to in a Japanese knife, but I'll get used to it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hardness of the cutting-edge and the profile of the rocking blade are perfect for my uses. Such a sharp, high quality knife is so satisfying to use. Plus, it is absolutely beautiful! The quality of the construction is obvious. GOOD BLADE!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the past time but cheaper knives. I will no longer do that again. This knife is sharp and great for cutting vegetables like carrots celery, cabbage, etc.
Miyabi knives are manufactured in Seki Japan, resulting in a superior knife utilizing the best techniques and methods. The Miyabi Black is a one of a kind edition, made with MC66 steel, which is known to stay sharp, and is easy to maintain. The 132 layers of damascus design protects the inner core, as well as adds a lovely flower pattern to the blade. The gorgeous handle is made of black ash wood, which feels great and really shines against the damascus steel. I love the traditional D shaped handle, which makes for a truly authentic look and design. Decided on the Rocking Santuko because I use both European and Asian cutting methods, and the shape of the blade lends itself to both techniques. This knife brings things to a different level!
