This is a great paring knife. The handle is slim so it fits easily in my hand. The blade is very thin and sharp allowing for precise usage when shaping and peeling without waste. The Japanese craftsmanship is shown throughout from the metal accents and mosaic pin in the handle to the Damascus style layered blade.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is sharp, beautiful, and holds its edge very well. Perfect for small, intricate work. I would recommend any of Miyabi’s knives. They are absolutely stunning.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fairly priced and high quality paring knife, I use it frequently for fruits and vegetables. Love the damascus pattern, beautiful!
The Miyabi Kaizen paring knives are both elegant to use and beautiful to look at. The slim D-shaped handle tucks into the fingers confidently. The blade is both hard and light at the same time, making it glide through delicate fruits and hearty peels effortlessly. That's because the 64 layers of molten steel applied over the VG10 steel core hold a tight edge. Less work for more precise cuts.
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.
I love the design on the blade of this knife because it is so beautiful and the knife is so sharp. The handle is also a work of art and I love all the details and small touches that are in this knife. It is very comfortable to use.
I love the attention to detail on this lovely paring knife. From the smooth transition between blade and handle to the beautiful damascus layers protecting the razor sharp cutting steel this knife is IT! As a perfect shaped parer knife it will get plenty of use in my kitchen. Meant to last a lifetime, the cutting edge certainly stays sharp and smooth unlike other Japanese brands that seem to nick a lot.
