This was a gift for my partner who loves to cook. He was absolutely thrilled to receive this knife and has been very happy with it.. Jennifer. Blacklick, OH. Sat Jul 25 2026

Miyabi 5000 FCD Shotoh, 9cm blade. This Japanese photo, also known as a vegetable knife, has a hard fine carbide steel core which gives very good cutting edge retention and sharpness. It is lightweight and nimble, and suited for cutting, peeling small fruit and vegetables. The FC61 steel core of the blade is embedded in 48 outer layers of Damascus-design steel, giving each knife its unique pattern. The cutting edge is symmetrical (not a single bevel) so it’s suitable for both right and left-handed use. The edge is Honbazuke-honed – a three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process resulting in razor-like sharpness. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The Pakka wood handle seamlessly joins the half-bolster. The smooth join helps to prevent calluses from forming on the thumb and forefinger. For best care, it’s recommended to hand wash only. Maintain and sharpen on a whetstone, and using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards should be avoided as this can prematurely dull the cutting edge.

It came plenty sharp and looks really nice on our magnetic knife strip with some other Japanese steel from my collection. My only gripe is that it doesn't hold its edge as long as I'd hoped it would.

Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, this Japanese steel knife is easy to maneuver and works well as a fruit, protein and vegetable knife.

Made with AUS10A high-carbon stainless steel reinforced with vanadium and an angled, tagayasan wood handle, this all purpose knife is strong, durable and precise. The butt of the knife is designed to function as a bottle opener and allows for easy hanging on knife hooks. Supported by free sharpening and honing. Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Kanso Santoku Knife adds essential simplicity to any cooking knife collection.

This is a beautifully crafted knife. The blade is beautiful and made with the devotion that Japanese craftsmen are famous for. The wooden handle is a lovely dark brown and fits nicely in my hand. This is more than a kitchen knife, it is a piece of art and deserves special care. No dishwasher, dry immediately after use and store such that it won't nick you or be nicked by other cutlery..

Top-of-the-line Miyabi Birchwood is a work of culinary art. Both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance. More than meets the eye, the potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. Miyabi's innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the Cryodur blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, Miyabi Birchwood knives feel as good as they look.

These Miyabi knives are an absolute work of art. They are beautiful in the pictures, but the pictures don't do them justice. Once I saw and held one I understood why they are so expensive.. Anonymous. Sat Jul 04 2026
