I love all of my Zwilling products! The Miyabi 8” chef knife is a great overall knife for home cooks and professional chefs alike. The weight balance is great with a sharp edge from factory that holds nicely with care.

I recently got this knife so I may update as I use it more. I love the feel of the handle and the way it drops before the blade allowing for a good grip and a safe handling space away from the blade. It is obviously a beautiful knife and very sharp right out of the box. I’m excited to put it to heavy use at home! First impressions is it is an affordable starter chef knife that isn’t too be to feel awkward for the beginner.
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.

I love the feel of this in my hand. It feels natural like an extension of my arm, the edge that it comes with is absolutely insane to just go right at it. Realistically it boasts great quality to carry the name. I would recommend this before a beginner just jumps to higher priced blades. Its a great knife that requires love and dedication. Use with care, use with passion

Feels nice in the hand and comes well sharpened from the factory. Careful to clean quickly after use as the mirror polish shows residue.

This knife is worth every penny. It is amazing and cuts things with ease. You don’t even have to hold the food you’re cutting with tension, it is sharp enough to slice through with ease!
Love the Kaisen line

The knife is so sharp and the edge geometry allows it to slice through anything like butter. It’s a smoother feel than their German line but you need to be more careful about the edge and keeping it clean and dry after each use.
If you are on the fence, just get it!

The knife is obviously really sharp, but at the same time very, very light too. The handling is amazing, and it is so easy to cut through fruits, vegetables and any type of other food. Love the patterns on them too. It just feels amazing to lift or hold. Pure luxury. The japanese knifemaking is really unparalleled. My first Miyabi, and certainly won't be the last one.
Best knife i’ve ever had
