Sharp and precise

I love using this knife when I'm prepping for an elegant meal. The agile blade glides through fruit, vegetables, raw meats and seafood. The slimmer handle makes me aware of the cuts I am making and probably makes my cutting a little better.

Very sharp beautiful knife but fragile

I bought this knife And only used it 4 times before cutting opening an avocado and the second the blade hit the pit it chipped the blade. I do love my knife dearly but if you buy this be very careful, it is sharp but thin.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. The impact of hitting the pit of an avocado or other hard item can definitely chip the edge. Miyabi knives are designed for Japanese-style prep, which often involves detailed cuts of delicate items, like fish and softer vegetables. These small chips can be ground away when sharpening, though, and we are so happy you are otherwise pleased with your knife's performance. We are here if you would like to discuss this further. Contact information can be found at the bottom of the page. Happy cooking!

Knife cracked 13 mm into blade

The knife two years old. Cut a piece of salmon. The blade snapped and when I pulled the blade back from the cutting board there was a 13 mm crack in the blade. Poor quality. There is also dye or paint on the blade that were off. Don't like to think that it is tainting the food but it must be. DO NOT buy these knives.

My new favorite knife

This 8" Miyabi Kaizen Chef's knife is by far the best knife I have purchased in a long time. It is perfectly balanced and fits my hand better then any other knife I own. Anytime I buy a knife I always sharpen it with my Lansky kit before I use it. The blade is still holding its edge and I've been using it for over a month now and at least 4 or 5 times a week. The 65 layer Damascus blade looks fantastic and is really a piece of art in my mind.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
