Amazing knives
Amazing knife. Stared with the 8" and just bought our second at 6". A great knife that is worth displaying in our kitchen! Will get another just need to figure out what size is next.

Grandson loves it.
This was a gift for my teenage grandson who has taken a serious interest in cooking. I had already given him the 3-piece Zwilling starter set, and he loved it. He requested that his next knife be a 6" Japanese chef's knife. This is the one he selected, and he loves it. The rest of his family is a bit jealous; this is his knife after all. He knows how to care for it and store it properly. I anticipate that this knife will be used for many, many years.

Spectacular
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Miyabi knife, but it is not the last. It's so easy to use, fits my hand very well, and the sharpness surpasses any of my previous knives. Even the Shun, which was my previous go-to

Well Made!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the shape of the handle and the how it feels in my hand. I love how it looks especially the blade, I will be looking forward to using this knife for all my prep work. It came very sharp out of the box and I have had a terrific time using chopping herbs and alliums. It feels very well made, I cannot feel that any corners were cut producing this knife. I highly recommend this knife.

Sharp knife!
From the few times that I’ve used this knife so far it has done nothing but impress me. It’s extremely sharp out of the box and can cut anything with ease! I look forward to using this knife for many years.

Like a samurai
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knife feels very different as soon as you hold it in your hand to cut vegetables or meat. It is so sharp that it works for cutting, slicing, leveling, etc. It definitely feels luxurious compared to any other kitchen knifes in hands. The texture and design on the blade and handle makes it look like a real samurai knife. Be careful not to cut yourself!

Excellent knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfectly sharp and thin edge. Slices like a dream. Well balanced and a pleasure to use. I'm an avid home cook and I prep lots of vegetables. I should have purchased this knife years ago.

Love This Knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thinness of the blade is so amazing! My older Wusthof blades seem so thick. It cuts like a dream while being light and well-balanced. And pretty too.

Sharp for days
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This baby comes sharp out of the box, and just gets sharper once you put it to a whetstone. As soon as I got it, I sliced an onion razor thin and made the best pickled onions in my life. 10/10, would buy again
