Miyabi Black 5000MCD67 3.5-inch Paring Knife

Just purchased because of the way it feels in my hand, the pattern is great, not gimmicky; a beautiful knife.

An exceptional paring knife and exactly what I had hoped it would be. No questions, concerns, or complaints. Looking forward to many years of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second knife from the myabi black line, they are amazing knives! It stays sharp for months of regular use. It is a work of art.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoy the Black series. The weight and balance from blade to handle is right for me. Craftsmanship and workmanship is second to none. Hardest part of purchase was choosing the wood grain, ohhh and paying too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this paring knife! So easy to hold and incredibly sharp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautifully made. Fits nicely in the hand and very efficient. Makes food prep easier and enjoyable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super sharp, perfectly balanced, beautiful blade, and comfortable grip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely sharp edge that has held through moderate use over the past 6 months. The handle is gorgeous and still feels like new. No issues maintaining the blade so far as I have followed the recommended steps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knife is perfect, especially it’s quality to stay sharp for a long time. The only part I dislike is how delicate the knife’s surface is when it needs to be sharpened. I have to hold a knife at a very particular precise angle whilst sharpening, otherwise the beautiful pattern on it is going to be wiped out. I wish that beautiful pattern can be held stronger, otherwise (if smothered) the knife is losing its finesse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Miyabi black series is beautifully crafted and razor sharp. If you want great knives Miyabi is the way to go. If you want to stand out go with the black series.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hey, it’s a knife, wait it’s a superbly crafted knife, the fit and finish is outstanding. I use it daily at home, and love the steel. Comparable knives at home include Wusthof and a custom AEB-L. Decades of use with those and about 100 meals with this knife. I must say this is a joy in the hand for many forms of prepping in Asian, French, Indian, and Mexican foods. The steel remains quite sharp, the edges are nicely rounded. The handle and balance of the knife sits well in my hand. I prefer it to the others I own even after first blush. It works beautifully choked up on the blade for peeling, and when making garnish such as tomato rose etc. For reference, I peel everything with a pairing knife instead of a peeler. This blade does an exceptional job gliding just under the skin to remove it. With a proper steel for the blade hardness, it will serve you well; and, it is so beautiful to look at as you place it in hand.

So far, this knife has performed as expected. The blade edge is well honed. The knife was elegantly packaged. For the money, this knife is more than just a “Kitchen Drawer Queen”! The ordering process was easy, shipping was on par with product availability, which was in-stock, allowing for fast delivery. My only “complaint” is the warning label on the opposite side. I’m still buying more knives in the future!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paolo in Tokyo’s YouTube Video “Day in the Life of a Japanese Knife Maker” visited the factory where this knife was made. After seeing the care and attention the employees took making these knives and knowing that perhaps the people I saw were the ones that made my knife I was determined to get one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed about this upon picking it up was how natural and comfortable it fit in my hand. I don't think I've ever had a knife feel like it belongs in my hand more than this one. I can exert some very fluid and precise motions when cutting with this paring knife, and the quality of the blade keeps it sharp for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the Best of the Best knife I love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blades on the Miyabi knives are so thin, they cut through almost anything with ease. I have several knives from this line as well as other knives from other brands and these are, by far, my favorite to use for precision cutting. They are also beautifully crafted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sharp, slices like a dream. I love the wood and insignia on the bottom. It’s just a sweet tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife blows away all my other Japanese knives. Even the othe hand made ones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super thin and precise edge . Great workhorse for a professional chef
