Exceeded any expectations I had. Simply a gorgeous tool whose quality can be felt once held. I personally had my eye on this knife for a couple of weeks before finally placing my order and I am so glad to say that I do not regret it. To anyone on the fence, just know that this is an excellent choice and that all the positivity surrounding it is understated.

good stuff
While I was surprised by the weight, the comfort in the hand and alance is excellent. This knife holds an edge very well, making it a joy to use.

Beautiful knife
I recently purchased the Miyabi Birchwood SG2 8-inch Chef’s Knife, and while I haven’t had the chance to use it yet, I’m already impressed by the craftsmanship. The blade is stunning, with a beautifully patterned 101-layer Damascus steel finish and a razor-sharp Honbazuke edge that speaks to its precision. The Karelian Birchwood handle feels smooth, balanced, and ergonomic in hand, and the overall design reflects the kind of care and tradition you’d expect from Japanese knife-making. I’m genuinely looking forward to putting it to work in the kitchen and seeing how it performs with real prep.

Wonderful knife
This is a wonderfully designed knife. It’s buttery smooth with how sharp it is. It’s also gorgeous with the Birchwood handle. This has easily replaced my other standard chefs knives as my go to work horse.

An excellent knife
I just received this Miyabi Gyuto birchwood knife and immediately put it to the test. It cuts paper like butter, is extremely lightweight in comparison to my other Japanese knives (admittedly none is as high level as this one), and I am in love with the magnificent design. An excellent knife in all aspects.

Great knife for everyday use.
This knife was everything I expected it to be. Handel feels good in hand even with the real wood, it came a little splintery, and I ended up sanding it slightly but it's probably been in some warehouse for some time. SUPER SHARP out of the box and is really easy to hone. Box did come slightly damaged like as if someone shook it far to hard but blade was not damaged and I don't blame Zwilling in the slightest. My handle came with a lot of "personality" but they all come different which is cool but I have seen it come kinda plain. I 100% would recommend to someone that knows how to take care of a knife but I wouldn't for beginners or people that wouldn't

Excellent Upgrade!
Did a bit of research before getting this knife and it fit everything I was looking for when I wanted to upgrade my current chef’s knife (Henkel’s) that I’ve had for over a decade. I’ve always wanted a Japanese knife but was used to a European style knife so this one made the most sense for me. I was also looking for a rounded spine (which this has) for a more comfortable grip. It is well balanced and comfortable. And I cannot say enough about the sharpness of the blade! More than enough for an average home cook looking to upgrade their knife to get to the next level!
