Worth every penny
on March 6, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phrase, “you get what you pay for” truly applies to this knife. Both aesthetically and functionality, this is the Rolls Royce of knives. It cuts as beautiful as it looks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

the WOW factor
on March 27, 2020
Posted by: Co cook
101 layers of sheer bliss! This has been a great alternative to my Santoku, although I still use both. Using it mostly for veggies, it is one of the more beautiful knives I have seen or used! The birch handle is both attractive and a comfort. It also cuts through the hardest outer layers like melons and will not disappoint! Well worth the price to own this "wow" knife!

Waited for this one!

I am the proud owner of several other Miyabi Birchwood knives, and purchased the Nakari as soon as it came out!
The Birchwood line is made out of SG2 steel which is quite hard, and keeps the blade edge nice and sharp. When they do need sharpening, its so easy to bring the knife back to the original edge, which makes me feel like I'm always working with a brand new knife!
The Birchwood handle is so stylish and looks great in my new kitchen.
Nakari knives are so useful and can be used for mincing, cutting, slicing and dicing. The shape of the blade is wider than a chefs knife which makes it really easy to scoop items once cut. I can work with the Nakari without experiencing hand fatique, and find myself grabbing it when I need tons of vegetables for soups, stocks and stews.

Beautiful Nakiri
on July 29, 2020
Posted by: Teddy Tibudeaux
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife performs as well as it looks. The Damascus cladding and hamon edge are amazing to look at. It makes cooking and preparing things that much more fun and visually appealing. Every time I set any of my Miyabi birchwoods to the side after dicing up an onion it gives me the same feeling of appreciation. It’s art, it’s beauty, and it’s performance all in the same package. What’s not love?
P.S. I oil my handles with mineral oil and then a mineral oil beeswax mixture. It protects and beautifies the handles to an even higher level than when they come out of the box. Love my Miyabis!!

Almost perfect, handle should be sealed
on October 19, 2023
Posted by: Jman199
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.

Great sharp knife
on January 28, 2021
Posted by: CHRISB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have done a lot of research on what knives to get and the birchwood nakiri is the best of the best. Super hardened steel. Super sharp and will stay super sharp. Beautiful knife.

Self indulgence
on March 23, 2020
Posted by: bulldog mom
Splurged on the Birchwood chef knife and absolutely love it, so I decided to treat myself to a second blade. Enjoying it as much. Blade shape feels different than chef, but great for prepping vegetables!
