My absolute go-to, take everywhere, cut everything
My wife brought a lot of high quality kitchen knives into my life when we got together, despite neither of us really being cooks before the COVID shutdown. In the years since I've really taken to it. We have two Miyabi's; one Santoku, and one 8 inch evolution. We also have Messermeisters, Misens, and uh.. crap i forgot the name of the other main brands we have several of... frankel? Anyways. this Miyabi chef's knife is my 100% go to. I do almost everything with this knife. I have really big hands and the depth of the blade is amazingly well fit for me. Because of the depth, the length is deceptive. it doesn't look like an 8 inch knife. but it cuts like one. Chicken. Beef. Lamb. ripping corn from the cob, dicing onions, mincing garlic, I've even carved the ribs from a steak with it, (though the depth did make that more of a a challenge than how it would have been with a bone knife or even a shallower French style blade. Even our knife sharpener loves this knife.

Cuts extremely well
I was looking for a great quality chef’s knife that was reasonable in price to start my personalized collection. I was able to try this one out prior to buying and it cut like butter. Extremely sharp and have not had issues with chipping breaking.

Sharp out of the box
I have been a professional chef for over 6 years ranging from Michelin star kitchens, however this is my first Miyabi, I love the sharpness right out the box, the design is ergonomic, cuts are very precise, this is not a cheaply crafted knife either like you see with many others. It is a design that is durable and built to last. I love the sharpened and feel of Japanese blades, but also prefer western blades for their blade height. This is a beautiful combination of both.

A great knife for a home cook
I purchased this chef knife after using the 5.5" miyabi evolution knife for a while. The quality is wonderful for the price and perfect for a home chef like me. The longer 8" model has great versatility and is the perfect weight to hold in my hand. I'm sure this will last a long time.

Very sharp knife
This is a very good all purpose knife. I like it for some things, but overall, the Chinese chef knife works better for me. However, I will be keeping both..You can't go wrong with either.

Great fusion knife!
A great blend of Japanese blade and European style. The blade is razor sharp out of the box and the handle is extremely comfortable for prolonged use. I'm very happy with this knife and it has become my go to when I'm in the kitchen.

Sharp knife with easy handling
We bought this knife as an upgrade from our current knives. It cuts like a dream with its sharp edge and has good balance and easy handling for our kitchen jobs. We would buy it again.

Beautiful in quality and looks
Great, great, great knife for anyone that has been cooking for a while and knows how to handle a very sharp knife. It feels amazing in your hand, love the weight and how easy it cuts through most of the stuff I've put it against. I've been wanting to get a personal knife for a while and had tried from friends other Zwilling products and thought I wanted a german knife but when I saw how beautiful this one was, and for the price, I got swooped away! It's as useful as it is pretty, lol, so happy with it.

Excellent thus far
Thus far this knife has been an absolute pleasure to use. This is the first chef's knife I've spent decent money on, and I looked around a lot before I made a purchase. 100% satisfied.

Absolutely Beautiful and Sharp!
I absolutely LOVE this knife. It came out of the box sharp as a razor, and after the many times I (and only myself) have used it, its still extremely sharp. The weight is perfect, as well as the angle of the blade. Overall, I'd give this a 10 star review if I had the ability to!

WOW!
Absolutely love my Miyabi Chef’s knife! This and the paring knife were my first 2 high-quality knives, and WOW, does it make a huge difference. The chefs knife has a comfortable handle, sleek blade, and cuts through meat and vegetables like butter. I will be upgrading my entire kitchen knife collection to the Miyabi Evolution series.

Well balanced and sharp!
I love the weight and balance of this knife alongside the comfortable German style handle, accompanied by the elegant look while still having a Japanese forged blade.

Great Knife
The feel of this knife is wonderful! Very light and balanced and easy to control. Straight out of the box it sliced and chopped so smoothly with no resistance.

A elegantly designed and functional knife
This is my first quality knife purchase as a chef and needless to say that the Miyabi 8 inch Chefs Knife has not disappointed. The weight and design allow for flawless use throughout the home and in professional kitchen. This is the first of many purchases I make from this collection
