[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very well balanced knife with a beautiful handle and Damascus steel. This is the sharpest knife I have ever owned or used.
This knife is not only beautiful, but razor sharp, and holds an edge for a long time. Love the longer length blades. Great for chopping large quantities of vegetable, and also slices razor thin sashimi. This knife is extremely versatile and can be used for a large variety of functions in the kitchen. Very unique, finally a knife I don't already own.
You'll forget this is an almost 10-inch chef's. It maneuvers so well, moving back and forth or side-to-side. That's because it is tough and it is hard. It will stand up to hours of work and hold an edge for months on end. It has 133 layers of super-premium steel, ice hardened to 66 on the Rockwell. All that means to me is that I love cutting with every one of these knives. It is effortless. It makes my strokes elegant and I easily get into a rhythm when I am using a Miyabi Black. I love this line!
Almost cuts/slices by itself. The Micro-Carbide Steel coupled with serious hand-honing makes this larger chef knife feel like nothing else. Sold wood grip, multiple-layered Damascus pattern and extremely good balance make this one special!
The steel on this line of knives is amazing in hardness and strength. the 133 layers of meticulous layers are stunning and the amazing ash wood handle with classic rivet, superb. From the razorlike 66 rockwell blade tip to the classic metal butted D- shaped handle, this knife is perfection. For the guy or gal who already has everything.. there is this knife!
