Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability.The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle.

it is a perfect prep knife. Destroys shallots, makes mincemeat of herbs. Super sharp out of the box, a few hits with the strop after each session maintains the edge so far.
A superb product and I am thrilled with my choice.
For boning, It works it's way around a chicken pretty well and can cut through joints with minimal effort. The sharp edge almost makes up for the lack of flexibility.
As a prep knife, it can't be beat. Great for tomato's or cubing potatoes, slicing up cheese bricks (better with hard, but still good with soft), preparing Ginger or Garlic. The shape has enough "chef knife" qualities to it that you can mince or chop small quantities, but is no replacement for a proper Chef knife.
The knife is a joy to use and a pleasure to look at.
But, my Tojiro knives still handle the load, although the need a professional sharpening.
Still a Beautiful Miyabi Birchwood knife, razor sharp out of the box.
Handle size comparison photos added. 5.5in prep knife vs 7in santuko.
