I love the Miyabi line, but Artisan has to be my absolute favorite. I love everything about this knife and proudly it hangs on the magnetic knife bar in my kitchen. I love the handle, the hammer blade with the traditional sharpness of a Japanese blade. Sometimes I like the smaller chef knife; I feel like I have more control and if working with something on the more difficult side, I like to have that control. The D-shape handle fits comfortably in my hand so I do not get tired when working in the kitchen for longer periods of time.
