[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these knives. They are extremely sharp and beautiful. They do require more care than regular knives but it’s absolutely worth the extra effort.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s the perfect size for a quick grab and cut small things like fruits veggies even chicken breast
The size of this knife is perfect for my small hands. I find the large chef's knives a bit intimidating. Purchased this knife instead and have no regrets. Nice and sharp made with FC61 steel and 48 beautiful layers which is durable and holds an edge. Great design and performs beautifully.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a small chefs knife for finer mise. Decided to go with this Miyabi prep knife. Ascetically pleasing to the eyes. Fits great in hand. Super sharp. Couldn’t ask for a better prep knife. Only con was the lightness of the knife overall. I guess I’m just used to German steel being heavier
I love this knife. The blade is made from a high carbon steel that stays sharp for a very long time. The Damascus patterning is a real work of art. The handle is just a little bit thicker than the average D shaped Japanese style handle which feels real good in my hand. The knives are made in Seki, Japan the center for Japanese cutlery and the artistry really shines through.
I have used this knife for a few years now and have come to rely heavily on the prep knife. It is a good inbetween knife for the chef and the santoku, as it is a little smaller so can handle all your smaller meats, poultry and vegetables. The traditional D-shape handle fits snuggly and comfortably in the hand so you have good control and comfort.
This baby chefs knife handles multiple jobs. Carbide steel core surrounded by almost 50 stabilizing wraps that create unique Damascus pattern. Real wood handle and...lots knuckle clearance. If you don't have one...try!
Love love love the kaisen ll line of cutlery. The beautiful damascus pattern, the incredibly sharp cutting edge and the well formed handle make this a go to knife. Its perfect for in between work, not quite a chef but more that a paring!
