MR Miyabi - Secrets of the Steel

The knives are light in the hand, the handle is a great shape. The blade cuts extremely clean and sharp. It is an absolute pleasure to cut with these knives.

Pretty schmick

I'm not a chef and bought these knives on a ridiculously expensive whim. I'm just an average bloke, maybe slightly better than average cook, whose never had a decent knife in my kitchen. I could have bought ten sets of knives that might be just as good as the Miyabis I bought. I wanted quality knives that would last forever.Confession: these knives looked like pieces of art and that swung me. And they are pieces of art in every way: wonderfully crafted, beautiful to look at and to hold, and they make me a wizard in the kitchen. They slice food so precisely and so finely. Things like onions and tomatoes that can be difficult with ordinary knives. I look forward to taking the Miyabis out of the box every time I use them.I bought online on Christmas Eve and expected ... MoreI'm not a chef and bought these knives on a ridiculously expensive whim.

Great joy. I just looked at them for three days before getting up the courage to slice a zucchini. Wow.
