Elevated Chops

Would Recommend

This is my first high quality chef’s knife and the craftsmanship and quality is apparent as soon as you open the package. The knife is quite sharp out of the package so does not require sharpening to use. The design is also quite gorgeous. I look forward to many chops with this new tool.

Super sharp

Would Recommend

I’ve been using this 8-inch Japanese knife for a few weeks now and it’s easily one of the sharpest, best-balanced knives I’ve owned. It glides through vegetables, meat, and herbs with almost no effort, and the precision makes prep work feel fast and smooth. The craftsmanship is impressive — lightweight but sturdy, with a comfortable handle and razor-sharp edge right out of the box. If you enjoy cooking or want to upgrade your kitchen tools, this knife is absolutely worth it.

Is it perfection

Would Recommend

What’s not to like about this knife, the feel, the blade, the look. It’s easily my new favorite, stays sharp cuts clean. If you were ever on the fence about it don’t be.

3rd Miyabi knife

Would Recommend

I just bought this knife as i have had two other Miyabi knives that have been amazing to use. The sharpness of Miyabi lasts such a long time. With proper maintenance honing it, i have only needed to wet stone sharpen ONCE in 6 years which is pretty amazing in my book. I look forward to seeing how this knife does! I do wish they offered Miyabi knife covers to buy for storage.

The best knife Ive ever used

Would Recommend

Ive been looking around for a new knife for work for about 2 years and finally decided to purchase this one. Im so glad I passed up every other option this was absolutely worth the wait. It feels like it was made for my hand. Perfectly balanced with a razor sharp edge and precision tip that would make a surgeon blush. The craftsmanship is unparalleled aside from its functionality, wich is 10 out of 10 across the board, it is a stunningly beautiful knife.

Been wanting a Miyabi for years but never bought one. My partner just got me this knife for a Valentine's Day surprise and I can't be more grateful. Beautiful knife, fantastic quality, easily my favorite knife in my stockage. Right out of the box, it cuts through sheets of paper like butter.

Good knife, light weight

Would Recommend

Amazing knife for all purpose use in the kitchen. It is extremely sharp, so be careful and take lots of precaution when using it. This knife is also very light but is an all-around workhorse in the kitchen. Very cool designs on the blade. Make sure to take care of it per manufacturer instructions to ensure longevity.

Great knife

Would Recommend

The Miyabi Kaizen chef knife is incredibly sharp right out of the box and stays that way far longer than any knife I’ve owned. It’s lightweight, perfectly balanced, and makes slicing effortless. The Damascus finish is beautiful, and the handle feels great in hand. Definitely a premium knife that’s worth it if you cook regularly.
