Well made Lightweight &extremely sharp, longevity
on March 17, 2022
Posted by: Spenser
I would like to begin by saying I have rather large hands, usually wear XXL gloves. Reason I mention this is that the only reason why I did not give this a 5 star rating is due to the handle thickness.
This Knife is held not only by the handle but by the blade itself, usually a couple of digits so that one has complete control of what you are cutting. This is the typical way Japanese knives are held.
This knife came razor sharp, with beautiful detail of the Damascus look. ( note to reader Damascus steel cutlery is made differently then out door knives and the effect is done by layering and welding)
This knife was rated the top knife for its' longevity (ability to last a lifetime)

The parent company Zwilling, has by far the best warranty service that I have seen in a knife company.
I have been using the parent companies knives for over 42 years and even decades later they have stood by their warranty and replaced my damage blades. The fact it took so many decades prior to this replacement speaks volumes of the quality of this parent company.

Just a heads up, this is Japanese style Chef knife and should not be confused or compared to western Chef knives as there are many differences between the two in way of using, weight of knife, and care.

If you're looking for a chef's knife a little larger than the traditional 8" but not as heavy duty as a 10", this beautiful knife is a happy medium. Take care not to expose the birchwood handle to too much water to keep it looking new. You'll be impressed with the long-lasting sharpness and beauty of this Miyabi knife.

I do like the slicing ability of this 9" chefs knife, easy to use. The core of this knife is made from SG2 steel is protected by an additional 100 layers of steel. Birchwood knives are some of the sharpest knives I have ever used. The handle is made from the beautiful birchwood and is extremely comfortable. This is an investment that you will be ecstatic about.

This slicing knife is wonderful! It’s incredibly sharp perfect for slicing fish for sushi or large pieces of meat.

I'd give 6 stars if I could

I fell in love with this Miyabi line the first time I picked one up. Miyabi Birchwood is a beautifully hand-crafted and made of the one of the best steels for kitchen knives. The smooth birchwood handle fits my hand perfectly; and the inset emblem is an elegant touch. But the part I really love is the blade. The exquisite flower patterned blades belie their hardness, their ability to keep an edge, their gleam. What a joy. The chef’s knives are flatter – great for chopping; especially for someone who grew up with a nakiri as my training knife. Enjoy these knives for a lifetime.

Blade features a Katana edge, it is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand. the Potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel, hand-honed using the traditional 3-step Japanese Honbazuke method. 5000MCD, Cryodur ice-hardened; 63 Rockwell hardness, flower Damascus pattern provides added durability.
Every Miyabi knife deserves proper care, TLC!
