  • 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

  • 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

  • Very well-balanced, razor-sharp chef’s knife
Size: 8"
I am very discriminating about cutlery-especially chef’s knives. Love the feel of this knife. It is very well balanced and has nice weight. Feels very sturdy in hand and makes cutting vegetables and other items very easy. Excellent value for the price

  • 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.

  • A useful work of art
Size: 9.5"
Was looking for German-Japanese hybrid that was closer to 10" and, being a south paw, wanted something ambidextrous. This more than ticked all the boxes. I can absolutely say this is the finest knife I have ever owned. I have many Wustofs, Henckles, F.Dick, Victorinox and many others. It feels great and is not a great departure from using any of the knives mentioned. I love it. ... show more

  • Sharp, good thin grind, but not symmetric and blade bends left
Size: 6"
The grind on the blade is relatively good and has a good taper to the tip for over all thin as a Tojiro. Overall its fit and finish is comparable to my Tojiros but sometimes I prefer this handle. It’s a little heavier and the balance is slightly more toward the handle than a DP/classic and as much as I can discern it performs as well. I would give 5 stars if the bolster grind were symmetric and if the blade were not bent and if it was centered at the bolster. I am hopeful I can bend the blade straight without breaking it and I can live with the asymmetric bolster transition and the blade being slightly right of center but I expect more competitive quality control at any price point. The edge is very sharp out of box. ... show more
