Great all around knife

I love this small knife—surprisingly sturdy. Many knives this size have weak, easily damaged points, but this one feels solid and works great. I wanted to buy more for gifts, but the price has gone up.

Very nice knife

Nice handle, extremely sharp, well balances. Will likely use this instead of my chef knife for smaller prep work

Perfect addition to the collection

Fantastic, beautiful knife. Impressive directly out of the box. Outstanding balance, razor sharp edge. It’s a bit smaller in form factor and fits in perfect with my other knives. But I’ll probably end up using this knife more than all of my others. Very convenient size. 10/10 perfect

My precious!

I'd never owned a knife of this quality before. The feel in the hand is incredible. The blade itself...wow...a work of art that's also incredibly hard and sharp!

Great prep knife, tons of uses

This is my second Miyabi knife, added this nice prep knife to go with my 8” chef. It has a nice weight, very sharp and easy to make fast precise cuts to vegetables.
