  Perfect for me!

  This knife is a dream! I researched knives for a few weeks before settling on this Miyabi. I was pretty set on a Japanese made knife but teetered with German-made. I have Henkles and Wusthof and love then both. After reading all I could about this knife and compared it to others... I feel I made the right choice. It cuts like a dream. The weight and handle size are perfect for my smaller hand. It also needed to be multi-useful rather than for a single 'job'. I am very pleased with this purchase.

  Not New

  The knife I received has clearly been opened and returned. The edge is in ok/relatively new looking condition but the blade has some obvious microscratches and finger marks from being handled. Normally I wouldn’t care too much, but doesn’t look great for a gift that I don’t have enough time to swap out. This should have been sold as an open box item but why bother to disclose that?

  Looks great, cuts okay

  A very pretty knife, but I wouldn't give one away, because it's not that great to use. There are knives costing a quarter or third as much as this which are sharper and also look great--this one is very well made, just overpriced. The handle shape is nice and comfortable, for me. The main drawback is the finish. The Damascus-like shiny finish pattern is almost sticky to the touch (my fingers don't glide smoothly over it like every other knife I have) and doesn't cut as well when compared to similar cheaper knives.

  Well-designed santoku for smaller hands

  This knife is beautifully made and incredibly sharp. The handle is well designed and fits my (rather small) hand perfectly. It's a pleasure to use for chopping, slicing, and just about any cutting job one does in the kitchen.I used to have a 7-inch santoku knife of similar quality, but over time I found it too heavy for daily use. This is now my go-to knife.

  Nice purchase

  Very found of the quality. Very sharp, looking at him you are already cutting yourself. Purchased it for my wife, she is happy and so and I. Will purchase another knife from Miyabi for myself. Please consider how You will sharpen such a hard steel knife before buying it. I found a temporary decision by buying a DMT carbon sharpener - after sharpening it, the knife cuts the tomatoes in half easily, like it was new out of the box.

  beutiful

  so crisply like scissors cutting paper it slices through difficult things coming all the way down to the cutting board with things like clumps of fresh herbs, fibery vegetables, fruits with skins. I have honed it on a ceramic pole lightly a few times but have not needed to sharpen it yet. That is because I love it but am also careful with, the blae is super sharp but necessitates that the metal is very thin there, so I dont use it on anything with bone that would chip it, and only use it for straight cuts as in 90 degree angle with the cut board, and only cut on a wood or soft plastic. It is a seriously well made tool and feels like it could probably do something like chop through a tin can although I wouldn't because it would damage the knife irreparably. To some degree it might just be the right weight and hand size, but I have always felt this knife was especially perfect. So much so that this is my second time buying this same santoku years after once owning and selling the sane make knife
