🔪 Miyabi 8-Inch Chef's Knife with Birch Handle - High-Quality Stainless Steel Blade Review

I wanted to order a backup for my Miyabi which I bought from Zwilling. When the knives arrived and I opened it up, I realized something was wrong. I can not say that this is a copy, but the weight is not the same, there is no balance. The handle is thicker and looks like wood. strange. First, with the right weight, the metal doesn't feel right. I'm sending it back and buying another one right away.

Light, nimble, stunningly beautiful. The best knife I've ever had. It's so beautiful that 6 months after I bought it, I still sometimes take it out of the box just to look at it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because its beauty is ruined but the specs are printed on the left side of the blade (see image). I have no idea why they went to so much trouble to make a visually stunning knife just to have a technical manual printed on the side.

I have had this knife for 2 years now. We use this for everything around my house from slicing meat, turkey, slicing veggies and even the occasional slicing of the birthday cake. I'm by no means a chef, I just love a good sharp knife. The only thing I've ever done with it in terms of maintenance was hand wash it and run it over the honing bar. Still as sharp as it gets and looks like it came straight out of the box. Would buy it again anytime if things got bad

I'm a professional chef and I've had hundreds of knives. This is the sharpest, most stylish and highest quality knife I have ever owned.

Not for beginners, this knife is razor sharp and requires some skill to maintain the blade and some special items. I would not recommend using steel for sharpening as it is a very thin, hard edge that can chip. Instead, use a…

I'm by no means a professional chef (even the term "amateur" is probably used incorrectly), but I've taken several cooking classes (including knife skills). Class 101) and felt I had a good knowledge of the different brands and styles of knives to reap the benefits of a quality chef's knife. I will eventually replace all of my kitchen knives, but the chef's knife is the workhorse of the kitchen, so that's where I started. This Miyabi chef's knife definitely ticked all the boxes, and the birch…

Absolutely incredible knife, you get what you pay for. I've been a professional chef for five years and have tried many different knives in that time. They all have their merits, for thirty bucks you can get a decent chef's knife that will take you far into the world of cooking. However, once you've researched different types of steel, different handles, and brand reputation, you're more likely to go for something like this. I think we all know Myabi's main competitor with Junn rhymes and they…
