Miyabi Kaizen 5.5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Great knife - lighter than expected

Sharp, reasonable balance. Doesn’t have quite the mass or heft I expected — though that could be a really good thing. Wanted to try something a little smaller than a 7 inch Santoku. Bit of a whimsical purchase. High-quality knife. Thin slices are easy.

A Bit Smaller than Expected

I decided to keep this knife although it was a bit smaller than expected. The length was accurate I was just expecting it to be a bit taller. So far it is an excellent knife, sharp and easily maneuverable. The handle is comfortable in the hand, I was concerned with getting a knife with a round handle, but not any more.
