Mine weighs 6.3 oz. (not "0.6" pounds as indicated in the specs). **Q: Is this a right handed knife?** A: No. It's ambidextrous. 1) the handle isn't right-handed like some Shun knives w/ the D-shaped handle. 2) the blade is taped the same on both sides, as is the blade edge--i.e., as best as I can determine, not having the right tools available to me these days. No one side of the blade is flat or concave. 3) Also, the is thin compared to western-style chef's knives. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent knife! *by M***B on February 17, 2026* This knife is everything I expected and then some.

Incredible!!! *by L***E on February 10, 2026* Beautifully crafted, well balanced and everything you would expect from a Miyabi!!! As a professional chef my knives are an important part of my life. That being the case I am also a collector of quality knives. This one immediately fit great in my hand. The blade was perfectly straight and the flow of the curvature was comfortable when performing all of the standard cuts. From rocker chopping, mincing herbs and dicing onions it just felt good. Like I had been using it for years. Nothing short of incredible. ## Frequently Bought Together - Miyabi Koh 8-inch Chef's Knife, Stainless Steel - Miyabi Koh 3.5-inch Paring Knife - Miyabi Koh 5.5-inch Prep Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/66041468-miyabi-koh-8-inch-chefs-knife-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/66041468-miyabi-koh-8-inch-chefs-knife-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
