Ratings & Reviews for Miyabi Artisan 5.5inch Prep Knife

pro prep

I love everything about this knife. The wooden handle is very distinct with the gold and red accents. It is also very comfortable to hold. The blade design is cool with part of it hammered and the lower portion sand blasted. The super hard high carbon steel stays sharp for a very long time and is easy to maintain. The blade shape is great for prep. It gives me a smaller knife for quick small prep but with an offset handle for use on a cutting board you dont get with a pairing knife.

Outstanding

Absolutely phenomenal, feels great in the hand, cuts amazing right out of the box, and is an absolute pleasure to use. I wish it was a full 6 inch blade but thats just nit picking.

The Miyabi Artisan line is one of my favorite and the prep knife is one of my most used knives in the kitchen. It is super sharp so can slice, dice, and chop with percision and it feels comfortable in my hand while using, which is very important.

outstanding!

The shape of this knife is pure genius. I love the artizan collection for Miyabi, the handle is like a sculpture and the blade with its hammered outer layer are works of art.

Fabulous for fine work and cutting

I love these prep knives for the smaller, finer tasks, like deveining shrimp as I did the other night. The super sharp edge cut through channel and, in the Artisan's case, the hammered tsuchime blade didn't drag the meat, it just glided right through. This is an excellent prep knife, great for slicing super thinly. I also like it to clean up meats and poultry -getting rid of the silver skin, the bits of fat. A great prep knife is worth it's weight in gold - no, worth twice it's weight.

Absolutely Favorite Knife!

Perfect-sized SG2 micro-carbide Japanese steel. Mid-size pakkawood handle makes it the most controllable. Big knuckle clearance and hammered to prevent food-sticking.

Wonderful "D" shaped handle with super sharp blade. This knife is bound to impress. You won't know a good prep knife until you have this one.

Prep Away

Artisan is a thing of beauty! The first attraction for me is the "hammered" blade; it's such a unque finish but it's also going to help keep food from sticking to the blade. The SG2 steel is very hard which guarantees it will have amazing edge retention. It also boasts that crazy sharp Asian edge angle. The rosewood handle has a nice round curve which fits very comfortably in your hand. A prep knife is such a great blade. It can handle those tasks that are too big for a parer but using a ...

Don't forget about a prep knife

This is such a useful sized knife many people forget about. Larger than a paring knife but smaller than a chef's knife this size can tackle both jobs. The SG2 steel core is harder than other steel and will retain the razor sharp cutting edge longer. The Artisan collection has the hammered "Tsuchime" finish and pakkawood handle in the traditional Japanese D shape for a guaranteed comfortable cutting experience.

I love a prep knife for all they do without having to use a big or long knife! Easy to handle and the Artisan collection is known for its fine craftsmanship in both the Damascus pattern and the handle with details of red and brass rings and the pin in the center! This really has a wow factor in both use and appearance.

This is a beautiful SG2 knife. The hand hammering on the blade is really stunning and makes food fall off the blade easily. D shaped handle feels smooth and secure and balanced in either the left or the right hand. Keeps its sharp edge for many uses with proper handling and occasional sharpening. Prep knife can be used for all of those small jobs such as shallots, garlic, citrus and mincing herbs.

Prep knife for everybody!

It's a go to prep knife, blades deliver scalpel-like sharpness. Its potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a Tsuchime finish. CRYODUR blade, ice-hardened to Rockwell 63 Handle is so comfortable in your hand and love that D shape handle and it is fabricated with special Cocobolo Rosewood pakkawood.

Miyabi magic

The size and shape of this blade make it a great addition to your collection. Wider blade and handle gives you plenty of room to work on your cutting board. I like to use this knife for longer vegetable such as eggplant, zucchini and cucumbers. It's a perfect peeler for melons.too. the hammered damascus pattern also aids in the release of food from the surface., Great tool

Hammered It

The hammered finished blade and rosewood handle of Artisan are simply beautiful. Add to that the functionality of the prep knife and it makes for the perfect knife. Blade profile permits use as a paring/utility knife for something small, while the wider heel allows for chopping something larger on the cutting board.

A great Prep knife

I love the look of this knife and how it has certain features that make it a true Japanese knife, like the mirrored finish aspect to the blade and the shape of the handle. I like that it’s a Cocobolo wood, really beautiful look that accents the blade perfectly. This prep knife slices and cuts through anything with ease and smoothness on a cutting board, clean slices every time. It has a nice balance to it as well, and contours nicely in your hand. The steel is really solid for a Japanese knife, ...

Prep Away

Prep knives are perfect for a quick cut here and there. They also are great for any young person learning how to hold a knife in a pinch grip - its the perfect learning size. This one is made form SG2 steel which produces scalpel like blades.

Prep knife for any prep work

I noticed Miyabi started to offer prep knives in most of their lines. It has become my new favorite. It's larger than a paring but smaller than a chef. The blade is a little wider so you can use it on a cutting board and your knuckles do not hit the board. This Artisan is awesome. So sharp and comfortable.

I LOVE this Artisan knife. It's one of my other favorites in this Miyabi line. The knife is expertly balanced and weighted with a comfortable, bellied handle. The hammered steel is incredibly sharp and seamlessly cuts through anything.

Love our new Miyabi Artisan!

So obsessed with my new knife. The size filled a gap in my knife needs that I never knew I had. Cuts beautiful and looks amazing.
