Miyabi Evolution 3.5-inch Paring Knife

Absolutely love my Miyabi Evolution paring knife! The handle is very comfortable, knife is sharp and doesn’t dull, and is amazing for peeling apple skins and mincing garlic!

I LOVE Miyabi knives but hate this Evolution collection. I have Miyabi Birchwood, Artisan, Kai, Mizu, and Moromoto and Evolution were the only ones where the info is not etched but seems to be a print that rinses off along with the edge. These look very much like the Morimoto ones but far worse quality. I already don’t like the western grip but that’s a me-problem that I won’t hold against the knife, but I got fusion knives fewer than 6 months ago and they are used maybe once every 2 weeks because I don’t like their grip. They are only ever hand washed, never soaked, never dishwasher (don’t have one) and the letters and logo are GONE while my other Miyabi knives I have used every day, multiple times a day for nearly a decade washed thousands of times have fresh perfect info and logo. In addition to Evolution’s info being made of disappearing ink, they will not hold an edge. Every other Miyabi collection gets five stars but this one is awful. I have photos of my daily used ride or die work horse Miyabis next to this Evolution used fewer than 20 times and all of the lettering is gone and it acts like it was recently used to cut a slab of concrete not delicately mKing roses out of strawberries. I have never had such a bad experience with any Miyabi - It is the worst of my 12 Miyabi knives and it’s not even close. Comparing Explution to the others is like comparing a popsicle stick to a katana. Ot resembles the Morimoto knives which were my previously my least favourite but at least reliable - these fusion ones are so terrible that I can’t believe they are even Miyabi at all. Awful. Buy ANY Miyabi knives but these.

Very versatile knife that has a great weight and feel. Extremely sharp out of the box with impeccable craftmanship.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sharp and efficient pairing knife

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An amazing pairing knife. The carbon helps the blade retain its edge longer, and if feels amazing in the hand to use. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic paring knife. Sharp, well balanced and beautiful! It's so sharp that you have to be very careful when using it. The handle is sturdy and not slippery. Such a joy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bout the MIYABI 8” chefs knife and had to have the paring knife that went with the set great knifes sharp and durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is well balanced, feels great in the hand, and a quality product. Zwilling makes beautiful knives. I recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love thé feel in my hand and the beautiful sharpness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super sharp. Great for peeling apples and other kinds of fruits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this knife as a gift and have tried it out and it cuts very smoothly and so far I am extremely satisfied with this knife. I would definitely recommend this to any pro or home cook

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s super sharp and stays sharp for a longer time than my German origin knives. It’s balanced in weight distribution and a pleasure to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way this knife feels in my hand. It is a great utility knife. I use it for my daily work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Enjoyed the western grip. Nice balance. Stiffer blade than you might expect but at 3.5’’ I’m not sure it could have that much bend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little knife. Super sharp blade, cuts effortlessly. Nicely balanced, feels good in the hand. Looks great, too, the sweet little red stripe on the black handle makes it look very cool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sharp out of the box, retains an edge fairly well. Ergonomic with a beautiful blade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking for a nice paring knife for a while and was intrigued enough by this offering from Miyabi to give it a shot. While I haven’t owned the knife long enough to really put it through it’s paces, so far it’s been brilliant. Comfortable to hold, we’ll balanced, and incredibly sharp. The edge also seems to hold up well with regular steeling, so I have high expectations of things to come. Overall, very satisfied with the purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best thing about a pairing knife is that it fits well in your hand. The handle is great for that and the knife is wide enough for me to use my thumb to grip for extra dexterity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mom got me this as a gift and my gosh I love it so much. I’ve been using crap knives for so long and this baby feels great in your hand, well balanced, chops beautifully. I love it. 10/10 do recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Miyabi 3.5 in paring knife I’ve owned…..the first came as part of a 10-piece set, but the paring knife disappeared. Since this, along with my Miyabi 8 in Chef’s knife are my “go to” knives, I had to replace it! The handles are beautiful, they balance nicely in the hand and are comfortable to hold. The blades slice through food with ease. There is considerable savings when you purchase one of the larger sets, so if you can, I highly recommend doing that.
