I bought this knife And only used it 4 times before cutting opening an avocado and the second the blade hit the pit it chipped the blade. I do love my knife dearly but if you buy this be very careful, it is sharp but thin.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. The impact of hitting the pit of an avocado or other hard item can definitely chip the edge. Miyabi knives are designed for Japanese-style prep, which often involves detailed cuts of delicate items, like fish and softer vegetables. These small chips can be ground away when sharpening, though, and we are so happy you are otherwise pleased with your knife's performance. We are here if you would like to discuss this further. Contact information can be found at the bottom of the page. Happy cooking!
The knife two years old. Cut a piece of salmon. The blade snapped and when I pulled the blade back from the cutting board there was a 13 mm crack in the blade. Poor quality. There is also dye or paint on the blade that were off. Don't like to think that it is tainting the food but it must be. DO NOT buy these knives.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This 8" Miyabi Kaizen Chef's knife is by far the best knife I have purchased in a long time. It is perfectly balanced and fits my hand better then any other knife I own. Anytime I buy a knife I always sharpen it with my Lansky kit before I use it. The blade is still holding its edge and I've been using it for over a month now and at least 4 or 5 times a week. The 65 layer Damascus blade looks fantastic and is really a piece of art in my mind.
