[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this. Feels great in the hand, solid and sharp. Will be able to use for many applications. Nice addition to my kitchen.
I’ve never really had a good kitchen knife and could never bring myself to spend the money on them because of doubts. After receiving this knife as a gift, i will be slowly buying all of them. They cut like butter. You point the knife at what you want to cut and it practically Cuts itself. Obsessed is an understatement.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So not only does this knife look beautiful, it is well made, well balanced and is extremely comfortable to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, it's just beautiful. More like art than a kitchen utensil. You can see and feel the pride in craftsmanship as soon as you hold it in your hand.
This is my first Japanese knife, have always used Zwilling western style before. The department store grade, nice, but not in this knifes arena at all.
First day I had to run it through its paces. Made a homemade chicken soup with potatoes, celery, carrots, chicken of course. The Miyabi ripped through each of them like butter. Has an excellent hand feel (is that a phrase)? I have large to Xlarge hands and it doesn't feel dainty.
And it's SHARP, not so sharp you have to fear the blade...and I'm sure with the quality of the steel someone could get it even sharper. But for my moderate cooking needs it's perfect.
Glad I did my brand rese a research. Was going to go with Chinese Cangshan, then started reading and was going to go with Shun....until I saw a comparo with Miyabi. Now I want to expand my knowledge and collection!
