Versatile and Lasting
on July 23, 2026

Love this knife. Had the earlier version for years until a coworker mistakenly tossed it in the trash. Very comfortable to use and lighter than the last. Comes very sharp and holds an edge for a long time if handled decently. Forgiving to a point if not. Would definitely recommend this knife.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Ideal "Utility Knife"
on February 6, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Likes:
- Steel: It's FC61, a fine carbide "Swedish" steel (AEB-L/13C26/Hitachi Gin 5/Kanehide PS60), tough enough to resist micro-chipping the apex, hard enough - at HRC 61 - to resist rolling the apex, all of which means less frequent honing and sharpening.
- Blade Profile: Thin spine, taper-ground (for low-effort slicing); lots of flat belly (for push-cutting without leaving "accordions" of thick-skinned vegetables); short length (for better control); and rectangular Granton (kullenschliff) indentations somewhat like the ones on Glestain knives, which seem to be the only ones that do much to keep product from sticking to the blade.
- Handle: Thin enough to encourage "choking up" on the blade, heavy enough to give neutral balance at the comfortably-tapered bolster (ferrule); doubtless durable, but I won't know for some time.

Dislikes: None (though I wish the Miyabi Evolution line included a 5.5in/140mm nakiri with a spine width around 1.7mm)

Sharp and comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I went to store after store to try out different knives. The Miyabi Evolution series are so much more comfortable than any other knives we tried, even super expensive ones. And they have an incredibly sharp edge that holds up very well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for smaller hands
on December 27, 2022
Posted by: Hayley08
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a couple of Miyabi knives and they are all extremely sharp and effective. I wanted this 5.5” knife because I noticed I still was using my 5” knife from another set all of the time but it wouldn’t hold an edge very well. The smaller size fits my hand perfectly and it is a great multipurpose tool. Most importantly, I knew if I got another Miyabi it would hold an edge - and it does!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Favorite knife

Frequency of use:Daily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We maintain many fine knives in our kitchen - this is our favorite! It is extremely versatile, has great balance, and works effortlessly when chopping a variety of vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. It maintains its edge and is very easy to care for. If I could only have one knife - this would be it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
