[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knife is perfect, especially it’s quality to stay sharp for a long time. The only part I dislike is how delicate the knife’s surface is when it needs to be sharpened. I have to hold a knife at a very particular precise angle whilst sharpening, otherwise the beautiful pattern on it is going to be wiped out. I wish that beautiful pattern can be held stronger, otherwise (if smothered) the knife is losing its finesse.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Miyabi black series is beautifully crafted and razor sharp. If you want great knives Miyabi is the way to go. If you want to stand out go with the black series.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hey, it’s a knife, wait it’s a superbly crafted knife, the fit and finish is outstanding. I use it daily at home, and love the steel. Comparable knives at home include Wusthof and a custom AEB-L. Decades of use with those and about 100 meals with this knife. I must say this is a joy in the hand for many forms of prepping in Asian, French, Indian, and Mexican foods. The steel remains quite sharp, the edges are nicely rounded. The handle and balance of the knife sits well in my hand. I prefer it to the others I own even after first blush. It works beautifully choked up on the blade for peeling, and when making garnish such as tomato rose etc. For reference, I peel everything with a pairing knife instead of a peeler. This blade does an exceptional job gliding just under the skin to remove it. With a proper steel for the blade hardness, it will serve you well; and, it is so beautiful to look at as you place it in hand.
So far, this knife has performed as expected. The blade edge is well honed. The knife was elegantly packaged. For the money, this knife is more than just a “Kitchen Drawer Queen”!
The ordering process was easy, shipping was on par with product availability, which was in-stock, allowing for fast delivery. My only “complaint” is the warning label on the opposite side. I’m still buying more knives in the future!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paolo in Tokyo’s YouTube Video “Day in the Life of a Japanese Knife Maker” visited the factory where this knife was made. After seeing the care and attention the employees took making these knives and knowing that perhaps the people I saw were the ones that made my knife I was determined to get one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed about this upon picking it up was how natural and comfortable it fit in my hand. I don't think I've ever had a knife feel like it belongs in my hand more than this one. I can exert some very fluid and precise motions when cutting with this paring knife, and the quality of the blade keeps it sharp for a long time.
