Title: As good as it gets…
Review: The Miyabi Birchwood series have a lot of great features like thin blades, lightweight and good balance. I would say they are as good as you can get until you go to a high-end custom Japanese knives. I sharpen my Miyabi knives at 12° and then apply a 15° micro bevel. This Series of knives use the SG2 also called MC63 steel which in my opinion is the best steel for home kitchen use being that it’s stainless and very fine grain.My only caution is that the birchwood handles after you wash them for the first time will cause the grain to raise. Also the birchwood will stain. I fixed these problems by simply applying a lacquer (poly would even be better) finish to the handle. For me, the little extra work was worth it as the knives are beautiful and perform excellently.

Title: Light, thin and sharp.
Review: I own the chef birch as well. The light and thin blade is easy to control. I don’t use them on hard items like parmigiana cheese or near bones but I have in the past without damaging the blade. Girlfriend is a lefty and loves them too.

Title: Great knife -- when on sale
Review: I have two of these, the santoku and chef's knife. The handle on the chef's knife is a beautiful pattern; the santoku handle not so much. However, they both work really well and look great. The only problem is the price. You can get better handmade knives for the same price. However, these knives go on sale once or twice a year, so if you want one just wait and buy it then.

Title: As good as practically and aesthetically
Review: It's beautifully made and I can assume it will last very long sharp. I hope I could sharpen it myself as good as it is now. Recently, I am more used to 5.5 inch santoku knife because they are long enough and lighter for most of my use. But I think I can be used with it pretty quicky. Good purchase! Very Good.

Title: A Conversation Starter
Review: For true cooks this knife is an absolute dream! The edge and how long it's stays razor sharp is shocking. This was my first "nice" knife purchase where I was willing to spend over $100 for a single item. I have now bought the pairing knife and chefs knife because how great this product is. Five stars, no question it's well worth the money.

Review: This is a fantastic knife. The knife is very sharp, the craftmanship and quality of the blade is over the top, and the blade looks very beautiful.The main use of this knife, for me, is to cut fish. The skin and scales of a fish are typically too hard and difficult for my other knives to handle (unless sharpened), so I whip this guy out and take care of any fish preparations.My only gripe, is of the Birchwood handle's longevity, and price, of course. However, one can expect a hefty price for a hand-made Japanese blade. And after almost two years of mild use, the birch wood handle appears unaffected of any wear / tear.

Review: Ich liebe dieses Santokumesser. Perfekt ausbalanciert, logischerweise sehr scharf. Nur alle 2 Wochen einmal nachschärfen. Es ist schon beeindruckend wie lange das Messer nach dem schärfen scharf bleibt. Meine Zwilling Messer konnten alle 3-4 Tage nachgeschliffen werden.Die D-Form des Griffes ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig aber nach kurzer Zeit hat man sich dran gewöhnt. Passt allerdings gut bei dem Griff auf, das helle Holz saugt Flüssigkeiten schnell auf und hinterlässt im schlimmsten Fall einen Fleck. (bei mir ist das Fett von einer Grand Jus nach 3 Minuten eingezogen und hat einen unschönen rötlichen Fleck hinterlassen).Habe auch das Kochmesser der Serie 5000 MCD und kann beide nur weiterempfehlen. Meiner Meinung nach besser als die von mir getesteten Kai Shun Premiere.

Review: la lame est fine et presque légère, bien entendu elle est parfaitement affûtée et quel plaisir de couper une tomate sans avoir a forcer ... la prise en main est impeccable. Le couteau est livré dans une boîte noire, joli écrin. Il est Made in Japan masi sa société mère est allemande ( le fameux coutelier Zwillings). Prévoir aussi des pierres japonaises pour aiguiser ce magnifique outil.
