[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a treat for myself in my new home. The weight and feel in my hand is amazing! The sharpness is fantastic, I have to use very little force to get the results I want.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have small hands and the grip is perfect for me. It is so comfortable to use and slices food beautifully.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From it’s beautiful craftsmanship to it sharpness, this knife is an all around hit for me. Good weight in the hand and extremely sharp. Overall very happy and it’s well worth the money. This knife can be in a commercial kitchen or for at home chef. You will not be disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box this thing looks solid and heavy but when I held it, it was light and well balanced. I enjoy how comfortable it is to hold and it slices without effort. This is going to becomey favorite knife.
If you are like me and grip high on the handle with 3 fingers and have thumb and index on the back of the blade, this will provide the comfort you would want. With my old knives my middle finger usually rubs against the blade and its quick becomes uncomfortable. This had nice balance and arrived razor sharp.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned a Classic SHUN chef’s knife and I must say that while I really enjoyed it, the Miyabi Kaizen 8” chef’s knife is vastly superior in it’s feel (great materials and handmade 100% unlike the Shun). The balance of the knife is fantastic and it’s a much sharper knife since Miyabi uses a much smaller edge degree than even Shun. The blade is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous Damascus steel and the VG-10 steel is a classic standard. The new FC61 must be truly something in the Kaizen II. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen.
