  • Best value Japanese knife
Size: 8"
This knife is exceptional. I don't think there's a better value from any of the major manufacturers. Miyabi's edge is 7/10 out of the box. The knife has good geometry and is well finished on the spine and in the choil. The distal taper isn't extreme, meaning I don't worry about the point doing fine work with the point. The edge profile is perfect for professional or home use. Particularly for someone used to a Western profile, this is a good entry point. The copy I received had excellent fit and finish. With the integral bolster, the balance point on mine is just in front of the bolster, not as far forward as a lighter weight gyuto. I actually think this makes it easier to work with and to utilize the entire edge. My one comment is about the esthetics — to me, this is a perfectly elegant and functional knife but I don't know why they sandblast the blade. It doesn't add anything to the functionality. Its simplicity is what sets this apart from other Miyabis which typically feature demascus finishes. The rather pointless sandblasted finish takes away from what would otherwise be a timeless design, to me. I don't see it helping with food release. Aside from that, I think this is where the search for a Japanese gyuto should end for most people. This is an exceptional knife, better than similarly priced knives. Superior to Tojiro, Mac, Global in the similar price range. ... show more

  • Some Quality Issue
Size: 8"
It's slightly handle-heavy, nice, and sharp, but the blade is not straight. The handle finish is not 100%. The package is poor for this price point. The overall feel is okay, although it does not fit my style. It weighs 181 gr.

  • An amazing work of art!! Incredible!!!
Size: 8"
Beautifully crafted, well balanced and everything you would expect from a Miyabi!!! As a professional chef my knives are an important part of my life. That being the case I am also a collector of quality knives. This one immediately fit great in my hand. The blade was perfectly straight and the flow of the curvature was comfortable when performing all of the standard cuts. From rocker chopping, mincing herbs and dicing onions it just felt good. Like I had been using it for years. Nothing short of incredible. ... show more

  • Absolutely top-tier
Size: 8"
This knife truly feels premium. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. Whether you’re a professional chef or simply enjoy cooking, this is an excellent choice. As soon as you hold it, you can immediately feel the quality, balance, and premium design. Definitely recommend it.

  • Excellent knife
Size: 8"
Wonderfully sharp and crafted with an extreme attention to detail. The weight is perfect, I love how balanced it is. While good for regular food preparation, I believe a knife like this is best for cuts that greatly affect the presentation of a dish. Note: has been good for sushi

  • Rust spots
Size: 8"
Rust spots after first use. I did not expect this from this high-quality knife. Deciding whether to return. How does stainless steel rust? It is sharp and cuts well. But needs lots of tlc. Wah and hand dry immediately
