I'm so happy I got it, it's a work of art! I've used it to fillet a few fish I've caught and for slicing roasts and steaks, haven't noticed it " steering" me due to single bevel, it's so sharp and has perfect weight. Not a laser like a Yu so I've got more confidence if I'm cutting a rib roast or something with a bone-in. Beautiful work of functional art. Haven't had to sharpen yet but will definately do it myself, I'm confident in my ability to sharpen and not scratch it. It is one fine tool. BTW, it's not my most expensive knife. You only live once, may as well enjoy it.. Anthony Y.. Mon Feb 23 2026

Beautiful knife, it looks like a katana, it looks small but I can handle it very nicely. Super sharp knife, it is like a straight razor blade ( you can shave your hand) so be very careful with it. I would recommend this as a first Japanese knife. Very happy with my purchase.. Davides. Thu Sep 10 2026

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.

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 Fabergé egg.
