Miyabi Kaizen II - Great at-home Knife

Really like the balance of the knife, and the shape and feel of the handle in my hand. Obviously the knife cuts great, and it's the perfect size chef's knife for someone like me, who feels like an 8-inch or larger chef's knife is a little too big for routine, at-home kitchen prep.

Perfect Chef Knife

I love how balanced this blade is. Its construction is just perfect! And it’s very very sharp so be extra careful with it.

Perfectly balanced

Beautifully balanced, incredibly sharp. I tested many knives from many other brands: Shun, Wusthof, etc.. and this was easily the most comfortable and balanced. FC61 has held up well in my other Miyabi knives and I have no doubt this one will too.

Sharp!

For an everyday knife I have been using a 5.5 inch santoku knife. This knife is definitely different! Being a more classic chef knife, I have to get used to a different motion. I also hold it different than my santoku. For my petite hands, it does feel a tiny big large/heavy, but I think it's something I'll get used to. It is SO sharp. It is well made and it looks great. I think this knife will get used a lot!
