[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These knives are as sharp as they are beautiful. The balance is perfect. They are a treasured part of my kitchen and will last long enough to be passed down to the next generation.
I really like this knife. It’s kinda of a hybrid between a Nakiri and at santoku. This comes to more of a point than a traditional Nakiri making it more versatile. There is also a little slope that allows for rocking. The steel is excellent. I have a few carbon steel knives and while this is more difficult to sharpen the blade doesn’t need to be constantly wiped down. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the handle is not finished/sealed. I would have preferred a finished wood like they do with the black and lower models. This just adds to the maintenance. When one has many knives as I do, I want as little maintenance as possible. If all my knives needed care in the handle it would drive me crazy. As a result I have bought artisanal and black lines that also has SG2 steel but doesn’t need the same level of maintenance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thrilled to have an artisan Japanese vegetable knife for my home cooking projects. I found it on the website back in stock on the very day my late disabled brother Tim’s successful guardianship case was concluded. I will use it often in his memory and pass it along to our daughters some day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is as beautiful as it is sharp. The perfect balance is amazing and I can't wait to add more Miyabi knives to my kit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for when you’re cutting a lot of veggies (especially root veggies). As a tall guy (6’1”) with big hands it’s comfortable for cutting for a long period of time when preparing holiday meals or get togethers. I would definitely recommend this for the home chef that’s looking to upgrade their experience in the kitchen. Bonus: the Birchwood looks good against almost any backdrop.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Japanese knife and absolutely won't be the last. The quality and look of this knife are superior to any of my other knives. Highly recommend.
