[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product line. It's sharp and the handle is very sleek clean lines and smooth to touch. It's practically seamless between handle and blade. It's an art of It's own class. Very beautiful to look at.
I use my paring knife a lot so I wanted to make a long term investment when I was looking for a new one. This one is as beautiful to look at as it is to use. The Ash handle is very smooth and comfortable in my hand. The unique wood grain is beautiful. The Damascus style blade is very sharp. The layers of high carbon steel and very hard core stays sharp for a long time and is easy to maintain. The slim blade design allows me to peel and shape with very little waste. The best tool for the job.
Starts with the hardest carbide Japanese steel. Forged and well balanced. Forged and tough. 130+ additional wraps keeps it stable and sharp. Hard, ashwood handle feels indestructible!
Exceptional paring knife because it is so sharp. One stroke and a strawberry is hulled. It is all that a home chef or a professional could want. It is tough and it is hard. It will stand up to hours of work and hold an edge for months on end. That's because 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!
The knives are also gorgeous. The Damascus pattern on the blade complements the beautiful Japanese Black Ash handles. No two are alike. These knives take a little maintenance to keep the wood handles smooth and beautiful. Enjoy and care for these knives for a lifetime.
The Miyabi "Black" line is the most beautiful knives I have ever seen. The handles are made of a beautiful black wood and the blade has a beautiful design. This paring knife is so sharp and is a nice length which isn't as long as most paring knives, so it is agile.
A traditional D shaped handle perfect for right handed people. True wood that needs to be dried immediately to prevent swelling and drying out. A beautiful knife if you have the time to maintain it.
One of my most used knives in the kitchen! I always have this knife close at hand when I am working in the kitchen. I bake so I am constantly peeling fruits mostly, but some vegetables as well. It is perfect for peeling the fruits and it is super sharp so often I can get that peel off in one long piece!
This is such a great Japanese pairing knife. Made with the best steel and a beautiful handle, this knife is sure to cut with such ease and that it does! The investment is worth it.
