[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simply a phenomenal knife. I first owned the birchwood chef’s knife and it’s a workhorse. Although more delicate in feel than western knives, it’s very easy to develop a preference for Japanese knives. The sharper steel requires a bit more care than other knives, but is worth it for the performance you get.
The packaging is as nice as it is for every Miyabi knife. Beautiful black magnetic flap box. The birchwood handle is elegant and soft but grips well. I always like to condition the handle with a little mineral oil to give it some shine and keep the handle from drying out. The length is perfect for delicate activities such as paring and design, but is perfect for some heftier activities like vegetables and fish.
Excellent! Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the miyabi chef knife and really love it. I add this one to my collection cause I want a smaller knife to cut fruit and vegetables. It fits perfect.

Light as a feather, sharp as a scalpel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have loved this utility knife (shotoh) since I first took it out of the lovely case. Balanced, sharp, and beautiful. When not in my knife roll, it's in my home kitchen on a magnetic wood bar, looking stunning.
My only knock is the excess printing on the blade opposite the Miyabi logo, it just looks busy.
Also, highly recommended to treat the birchwood handle with some food-grade oil/wax to preserve it. It darkens it a bit, but the protection is worth it, and in a way it customizes it for you. Outstanding product!
Very nice knife, sharp also. looks really nice also. love using for food prep. dont let the working end touch your skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This petty is well balanced, sharp out of the box and the craftsmanship is great. This one is on display when not used versus sitting in a drawer. We are very happy with it.
