I love this knife even though I don't use a rocking santoku that often. I chop. My mother and grandmother chopped. So the nuances of a rocking santoku can be lost on me, but not with this knife (see also Miyabi Birchwood and Miyabi Black).
This a well balanced santoku with enough stability to get through larger produce - Italian eggplant, large artichokes, butternut squash. The 7" length is just right and the elegant arc is just right for finer slicing.
And this knife is beautiful. The pounded SG2 steel stays bright and shiny. The wood handle is durable and steady in my hand. Love, love, love it!
If you like cooking and are cutting/prepping almost every day, then this is worth every penny and then some. I could immediately tell the difference with how sharp this thing is. Slicing through vegetables takes almost zero downward force. A soft, simple slicing motion is all it takes to achieve clean, uniform cuts. And as an added bonus, it’s absolutely beautiful! Truly a work of art and just staring at it gives me pleasure.
These knives are unbelievable craftsmanship. I picked up one of these bad boys as a Christmas gift. They are so sharp, I just hope nobody cuts themselves.
My husband bought the Miyabi 600 7” Rocking Santoku for my birthday and this is now my most favorite go-to knife. Beautiful to look at and beautiful to handle.
I have had this knife now for two years, it is the best made and sharpest knife I have ever held in my hands. Get this knife to last you forever and be a cherished keepsake to pass down to you future generations!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Using a couple weeks now. Love it. Small pleasures in life can make a difference! Still super sharp. Maybe difficult to sharpen since it is very hard. I haven't had to yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!
