This is my first santoku knife and first miyabi brand knife but man did it impress! It is super sharp out of the box. Its lightweight but making cutting a breeze!

Beautiful knife. Recommended by a close friend in the industry, with the quote “work horse of a knife. Used 8-10 a day for multiple years. Held a perfect edge and balanced beautifully. If you’re on the fence about purchasing. Jump off the fence and order.

Excellent first quality knife. Feels premium in the hand and cuts great. Razor sharp out of the box

This is a beautiful knife and exceptionally good at slicing vegetables. It makes a great gift due to its aesthetics. I got it for my wife and she loves it.

Beautiful knife that feels great in the hand. Love the weight. It quickly became a natural extension in my hand.

Absolutely stunning knife. It is carefully crafted.

Unbelievable quality and craftsmanship! The sharp edge is unbeatable and cuts through tougher items such as ginger or root veggies with ease I didn’t know was possible. The handle is solid and ergonomic, the rocking edge allows for nimble knife work and it’s an absolutely gorgeous addition to our kitchen.

The MIYABI Kaizen II 7-inch Santoku is an absolute star in the kitchen—super sharp with a beautiful Damascus-style finish. The handle is comfortable and feels solid in your hand, making it easy to slice, chop, and dice with precision. Overall, it's a top-notch knife that’s perfect for anyone who wants a high-quality, reliable tool in their kitchen.

This knife cuts everything like butter. Prep is now so much easier with this extremely sharp knife!

Opened the box and the knife was very nice. It's extremely sharp and makes prep work a breeze. Good balance and weight. Recommended
