Incredible Miyabi 6” Chef Knife
While I have several other fine knives the 6” Miyabi birchwood has now become my favorite as my most purpose knife. I’ve only had it for a few weeks and often find myself reaching first for another but then recall and retrieve my new Miyabi. I’m still impressed with its feel and sharpness. This will be my last knife and holds top choice now.

Easy to handle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is the perfect length for me - shorter than a standard chef's knife, yet gets the task done. Don't let the shorter, less-menacing length fool you, though, as this knife is SHARP. I recommend storing this in a safe place when not in use. I keep it in the original box, but I'm looking at getting a storage roll bag.

Perfect chef knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about this knife. Blade is beautifully crafted, insanely sharp and I love the control I get with a 6 inch blade. The handle comes to a point on the bottom which is my favorite handle shape.

Beautiful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a handsome knife! The only negative is the untreated handle. I used beeswax coconut oil mineral oil blend To help preserve the handle from getting damaged. As a professional chef I will be making this my work horse knife.

5000 MCD 6 inch chef knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my good friends in high school bought me this knife for me as a graduation present, since I want to pursue culinary as a career. I’ve been using this knife constantly at work, the knife is still very sharp (as long as you hone it properly). When I first picked up the knife I noticed the more d shaped handle and being a lefty I was a bit concerned about how it was going to feel in my hand, but to my surprise the knife fit very well and has been comfortable for me. Another thing I noticed when I first held the knife was that the knife didn’t have any lacquer finish, which I was used to from other knives. After using it at work I’ve come to love the fact that you get a more textured handle, it helps me grip and hold the knife better, where as the lacquered handles tended to slip at bit more. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who loves to cook and be in the kitchen wether they work in a professional kitchen or not.
