Great knife

The Miyabi Kaizen chef knife is incredibly sharp right out of the box and stays that way far longer than any knife I’ve owned. It’s lightweight, perfectly balanced, and makes slicing effortless. The Damascus finish is beautiful, and the handle feels great in hand. Definitely a premium knife that’s worth it if you cook regularly.

Beautiful Blade, New Favorite Knife

I had been using a quality MAC chef's knife for years, and my new Miyabi Kaizen II absolutely blows it out of the water! The handle and balance are perfect for my hand, and the blade is razor-sharp, making easy work of even the toughest produce. It has been a joy to do prep work with this beautiful knife. I will undoubtedly be purchasing more Miyabi knives in the future!

Incredible cuts like magic

Incredible knife. Dicing onions is like dicing butter. The knife is so sharp that it is almost scary to use.

We were gifted this knife, along with the Miyabi pairing knife, and the Miyabi Santoku. They have been awesome! We apparently are also getting a free gift by leaving this review!
