Great knife

Would Recommend

Beautiful knife with excellent balance, ergonomics, and outstanding sharpness right out of the box. The edge retention and corrosion resistance are also impressive. It feels precise, comfortable, and effortless to use. Now I just need to figure out the proper way to sharpen it — and, most importantly, what to use. I definitely don’t want to risk damaging such a beautiful blade!

Cooking and cutting with this knife is a breeze and saves time to explore other things in life! I cook extensively but never had a great Chef's knife. I have Henkels hybrid chef's and serrated utility knife that weren't expensive. I have been using Henckels for 15 years.

Quickly became one of my favorite knives!

The Miyabi 5000 FC-D has quickly become one of my favorite knives in the kitchen and, in my opinion, one of the best values available for serious cooks and professional chefs alike. The first thing you’ll notice is how incredibly lightweight and balanced it feels in hand. Whether I’m breaking down proteins, slicing vegetables paper-thin, or handling delicate herb work, it moves effortlessly and reduces fatigue during long prep sessions. What truly sets this knife apart is its razor-sharp FC61 s...
