[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knife came in a nice display and the mirror like Damascus finish is impeccable. It's super thin but balanced. The Birchwood handle is gorgeous and adds just enough weight to give it the feel of a German knife with the precision of a Japanese sword
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome product. I've been using cutco knifes for the longest time and wanted something with a bit more quality. The Birchwood set is so beautiful and accents my kitchen nicely.
First up, this knife is evenly balanced. I cannot say the same for the knife being replaced. Secondly it is stunning and super sharp out of the box. 10 out of 10 a wonderful knife. This is slowly replacing a knife set that cannot pass a paper test. Needless to say - the differences are night and day. Miyabi Birchwood series are the best.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is beautiful from the Damascus finish to the birchwood handle. You can tell that the level of quality is exceptionally high for them. In addition to the visual appearance, this knife cuts like butter through anything. Out of the box sharpness was very good and with a few strokes on a leather strop, it was razor sharp. This birchwood line has the perfect amount of Damascus layers and doesn’t feel like you’re pushing a wedge through your food. Overall very happy with the knife and this will be my go to in my knife drawer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the touch of the birch handle and the feeling of control in my hand. The knife is very long but light at the tip and very steady. It's perfect for serving at parties. It cuts through the thick crust of a smoked brisket without spilling a drop of juice and makes impossibly thin slices of birthday cakes. Using a knife this long is always fun and actually is the closest thing to a katana sword in the west.
