Great starting knife

If you are like me and grip high on the handle with 3 fingers and have thumb and index on the back of the blade, this will provide the comfort you would want. With my old knives my middle finger usually rubs against the blade and its quick becomes uncomfortable. This had nice balance and arrived razor sharp.

A terrific chef's knife!

I've owned a Classic SHUN chef's knife and I must say that while I really enjoyed it, the Miyabi Kaizen 8" chef's knife is vastly superior in it's feel (great materials and handmade 100% unlike the Shun). The balance of the knife is fantastic and it's a much sharper knife since Miyabi uses a much smaller edge degree than even Shun. The blade is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous Damascus steel and the VG-10 steel is a classic standard. The new FC61 must be truly something in the Kaizen II. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen.

Miyabi Kaizen 8-inch Chef's Knife

This knife right here is the absolute best knife I ever used. I just cut my rack of ribs and it literally cut like I was cutting butter. The knife is extremely light. The design is awesome

Great chef knife

Very sharp, easy to keep so. Comfortable grip. Purchased one at a retail store, ended up with blade breaking off a couple chunks, sent it back & Zwilling replaced it! Very happy with the customer service & standing behind their product. Will hopefully get many years of use out of this replacement knife! I love working with this knife as it is very easy to work with.

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.
