My husband first bought a miyabi knife for me after he had bought one for his nephew who is a professional chef. Being a housewife i wanted one too. And i was instantly in love. It cute super smoothly and cut everything, no matter how hard or soft smoothly and effortlessly. I would hide my knife from any guests who would visit so no one could damage it in anyway.. basically it was all mine! Today it was our anniversary and my husband bought me a whole set of five knives, a block and a sharpener- i am super excited and can’t wait to start cooking like a professional chef at home!!!
