My precious!

I'd never owned a knife of this quality before. The feel in the hand is incredible. The blade itself...wow...a work of art that's also incredibly hard and sharp!

Great prep knife, tons of uses

This is my second Miyabi knife, added this nice prep knife to go with my 8” chef. It has a nice weight, very sharp and easy to make fast precise cuts to vegetables.

Amazing purchase

I’m in the process of expanding my knife sets, and this was recommended to me by Sur La Table. I’m am so glad that I have another tool in my tool chest for knife-work and diversity in the kitchen.

Sharp and beautiful

I’ve always seen the example of a knife cutting a tomato into paper thin slices, but never had a knife that could actually do it. This one does. Amazingly sharp and exceptionally beautiful
