Ratings & Reviews for Miyabi Kaizen II 8inch Chef Knife

First "Real" Knife

This is my first "real" knife purchase. I'd say I'm a intermediate to advanced home cook and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen on weekends meal prepping for the rest of my week, i.e. lots of cutting up vegetables and trimming poultry for salads and other meals. I've had a decent knife set for the last 15 years that I rely on, but I was looking for a higher end chef's knife that held a better edge and helped me get through my prep quicker and more efficiently. I landed on the Kaizen II Gyutoh ...

Great knife

Great first knife! Quality is incredible, hope it will be able to be used for a lifetime.

Best japanese knife on the market

This knife is beautiful and sharp i love the handle and the detail on the knife this is my new favorite knife.

Beautiful, comfortable, effective

This knife is a beautiful damascus blade that fits comfortably in the hand and slices effortlessly. Received as a gift and will be a go-to for years to come!

Beautiful knife! Very sharp. Just received today, so haven't tried it out yet. So far, am pleased with my purchase!

Great knife, fair price

A beautiful knife, very sharp, only wish it came with a sheathe as I don't have a knife block and would prefer something a little smaller than the box it came in for storage

Wicked Shaap…

I heard about this knife from a friend of mine who also is an avid cook. He said the quality is unmatched and it’s a knife you own for a lifetime. I received my own version of this knife for Christmas just in time to trim a smoked prime rib roast. The knife is soo sharp I have to be extra careful not to cut myself.

Satisfied customer

The knife is sharp and very sleek. Cuts meat effortlessly!

Great knife

It came already quite sharp and we love the design on the metal. We have had no issues with it and it makes cooking a joy.

So Sharp! I love it!

This knife is so beautiful, sharp, and very well designed. Cuts right through paper! So amazing.

My gift to me!!!

Recently purchased this work of art and I’m extremely pleased with the craftsmanship for the price. The balance and the sturdiness of the knife is excellent. One thing I wish it came with is a branded knife guard.

Fantastic Knife, add to your collection

This is my first "Real High Quality" Chef's Knife. I absolutely love it! I have a medium to maybe large hand and the knife feels comfortable, it is well made, balanced and the weight and price are perfect. My next purchase will be a sharpener and probably some additional knives.

My go to

Very sharp. Very balanced. Beautiful. I can only say good things about it. Though I’m not a “professional chef” I do cook every day and very often for very large groups of people, this is my go-to knife.

Must have

Beautiful looking knife. Great weight and balance on the knife. Just purchased the knife and I already love using it. Very versatile knife.

Best knife

I have wanted this knife for so long. I finally received it as a gift this year. It's lightweight enough to fit comfortably in my hands but heavy enough to cut with ease. The sharpness to the blade is something you just have to experience for yourself. Fantastic knife!
