the look is great, obviously. i feel the balance is off when you try to hold it where the tang and birchwood meet, some are specific about this.. maybe i’m not that powerful when it comes to the julienne or chop, but as Myabi is generally advertised to be one of the sharpest, i expected more, especially on its first use. i would also love to generally state that these knives are art pieces. although they are performance-worthy, they are not chef-worthy in my eyes. They’re extremely expensive to have in your professional kitchen, i would mind that in your consideration to purchase. As a home cooker, these sets bring a great blend of style, sharpness, beauty, and uniqueness for anyone to see you preparing with Myabi, even the one using it. just make sure to hand wash these knives only, no dishwasher, and do NOT use any regular honing steel to sharpen these knives, they are extremely hardened. use only the Myabi Honing Steel.
thanks!!

Beautiful knife!

This knife is beautiful and at 9.5 inches, is capable for the majority of jobs. Compared to the gyutos and santokus, this one has more weight on the blade end and makes some chopping tasks easier to perform. (Similar feel to a nakiri) the SG2 core and Damascus layers feel solid and still thin enough to slice through foods. I like the straight portion of the knife closer to the heel as the majority of my cutting is push cutting and chopping. This has a high price tag but is definitely worth it if you can afford it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is absolutely gorgeous. This is my 3rd Miyabi and 2nd in the Birchwood collection. The quality of Miyabi is unmatched. Knives come out of the box razor sharp. The first time I used this knife I cut chives and it was a dream. Can't wait to order another Birchwood Miyabi. Most definitely my favorite knife brand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful and incredibly sharp knife! The blade is lighter and thinner than a typical knife, which adds to the proper balance for a quality knife.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Handle feels very nice and looks outstanding. Blade also looks very good and most importantly is extremely sharp. Knife is pretty light weight but is very easy to use. This is now my Second Miyabi Birchwood and I am extremely pleased with the build quality.
