Gorgeous
Absolutely gorgeous knife, crafted so beautifully. Only reason I knocked a star is because it’s a tad awkward for my hand specifically, but the more I use it the more comfortable I am. I’ve never enjoyed cutting onions so much!

Amazing Quality
5.5” is the perfect size for this knife. Everything about it is great quality (handle, blade, edge retention etc…)

Great Knife
Great knife. Bought for my wife and she loves the feel in her hand. 5’1” tall so she likes the smaller length for better control.

Wrong Knife Arrived and Scuffed UP !!
I'm new to Miyabi, I wanted some Japanese knives & did quite a bit of reading/homework before ordering. I ordered a set of 2 Artisan knives but will have to return that ( one of the knives in that set was the incorrect sku ), I placed a separate order for this 7" Artisan Santoku, the Knife arrived with 2 parallel scuff marks running the entire length of the blade. So both orders are a big disappointment, the scuffs are deep and cannot be easily buffed out. Needless to say I am not very impressed with the service and or quality..

The Exceptional Craftsmanship and Edge Retention
I recently purchased the Miyabi Artisan 7-inch Santoku knife, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I held it, I could feel the premium craftsmanship—everything from the stunning design to the balance in hand shows meticulous attention to detail. The blade itself is razor-sharp right out of the box and holds its edge exceptionally well, making food prep effortless. Whether slicing vegetables, proteins, or herbs, this knife glides through ingredients with precision. The ergonomic handle adds to the comfort, allowing for extended use without fatigue. Overall, this Santoku knife has exceeded my expectations in both performance and aesthetics. If you're looking for a high-quality knife that combines artistry with functionality, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Excellent knife
I’ve had this knife for a little over a year and have used it almost daily, often multiple times per day on a variety of foods. It is still extremely sharp without having sharpened it at all and cuts effortlessly. It also feels comfortable in my hand and is well balanced. It’s a great all around knife and if I need another knife I will be choosing this brand.

Outstanding knives!
Purchased the 3.5" Paring Knife, 5.5" Santoku Knife and 8" Chef's Knife from the Miyabi Artisan series. Handles fit well in my larger hands! Visually very nice to look at and exceedingly sharp right out of the packaging. Handles are nice and smooth everywhere they should be and allow plenty of control. I felt that the blades worked very well when I was preparing dinner. Pork loin and mixed veg.

Beautiful knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a gift and to be honest I never opened it until recently because it is just so pretty to look at. The handle is on the heavier side for me personally but the cut is perfect and does the job done.
