[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, it is a work of art, beautiful construction, graceful flow from handle to blade tip, excellent instructions; a perfect gift. The first slices are magical: smooth, precise width of cut, and easy to clean and store.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome knife and part of a what makes my kitchen sexy. Love this thing..but be careful, slices everything, my finger included.Quality blade, handle and packaging. Amazing product.
I really like this knife. I recently added it to my Kaizen collection. It fits the space between my pairing knife and Chefs knife and Santoku. The blade size is the perfect size for working in hand or on the cutting board. The D shaped handle is very comfortable in my hand. The "super steel" blade is very sharp. The Damascus style layering adds a beautiful aesthetic to an already great knife. I love the tradition and artistry put into this knife from the micarta handle all the way through the Katana style watermarking on the blade edge.
The Miyabi Kaizen 5.5-inch utility prep knife is an extremely popular knife. It is much beloved for the variety of precise cutting that it can do. It's razor sharpness makes every stroke efficient. The 64 layers of molten steel, applied over the VG10 steel core, hold a tight edge. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through both delicate and hearty foods beautifully.
Adding to the enjoyment of this phenomenal cutting tool is its beauty. The Damascus-style polishing showing the layers and the linen Micarta handle with finishing details combine to make using and owning this knife a joy. Hone regularly. Hand wash. This knife will be sharp and beautiful for a lifetime.
