The most beautiful handles on a factory knife ever?

- In my first video of the year 2023 I show you the Miyabi 5000MCD Bunka (Rocking Santoku) with Birchwood handle. It has the perfect profile for the Western rocking cutting technique and the most beautiful production handle I've ever seen on a knife.
A few years ago I gifted this knife to my brother who lives on Bali. Since I'm staying on Bali this whole month, I thought I might as well shoot a video with it.
My first sponsored video I might ad! Recently I was approached by a member of the marketing team of #buyee (a Proxy Service from Japan) and was offered to build a business partnership with them.

Great video again, hope you have a great time with your family! Even the family dog love's the vid!
Thanks man! 🙏🏾 I truly enjoy spending quality time with my family after 4 years of not being able to visit them.
Enjoy your vacation!
Enjoyed the video buddy!
Oh I am enjoying my vacation for sure, no need to worry about that! 😉 Thanks for all the support for my channel and engaging with my videos! You know how much I appreciate it 🙏🏾♥️🔪🙇🏽♂️
I think Miyabi call this knife a "Rocking Santoku".
Maybe it is aimed more towards a western knife audience.
Thanks for this review!
It is also nice to see a family that is smiling and being happy together!
I am Bulgarian but my father has lived a few years in Indonesia as a student and he used to speak Indonesian.
Correct. Rocking Santoku. Japanese don't rock, so for the Western market for sure!
Have fun there bro. All good you too!
Thank you brother! 🙏🏾
Happy New Year! That is a gorgeous wood indeed. Thanks for the Buyee info! Stay safe and healthy and enjoy family and Bali!! 👌🔪💖👍💯
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
Congrats on a sponsor
Thank you! 🙏Quite unexpected to get one already (I'm such a small channel still) but hey, I'll take it!
The things that you mentioned that you couldn’t find outside of Japan, can in fact, be found and bought outside of Japan. Also, the Birchwood is a great knife and a great example of excellent craftsmanship and quality.
Well, I guess I'm not that great at shopping online. When I was looking for one of those funny shaped egg cookers, I always landed on Japanese websites.
Would you mind going a bit more into how you treated the handle? I really like the darker look you have on yours!
I used a mixture of mineral oil, Tungsten oil and Grape seed oil. And then sealed it with beeswax.
Good question. I got the Gyuto today. Stunning knife.
@@chefknivesenthusiastgister gekocht. In je video had je het ook over terpentine?! Ik heb nu de mistery oil gebruikt van Boos blocks. Geeft overigens wel al een mooie diepere kleur van de tekening van het berkenhout. 😊
Great review! Thank you!
Have you used or reviewed any of the Musashi line of knives?
Thank you for the kind words! Unfortunately, I have never used or reviewed a Musashi line of knives. Perhaps I will one day.
I did use and review many other knives that you can find videos of in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLbm404PVwJ7uSyGPeMQh1YeOuvAOymNN6.html
I've always liked the looks of the Miyabi Birchwoods, but like you, I just prefer wa handles and flatter profiles. I can see why some people would love them though.
Miyabi actually markets this knife as a Rocking Santoku. The curvy profile was deliberately made to excell at the Western rocking cutting technique. I failed to clearly point that out in the video by keep calling it a Bunka. So, my personal preferences indeed are not met by this knife, it is doing what it is intended for really well! And boy oh boy are those Birchwood handles gorgeous!
@Chef Knives Enthusiast Ah, I thought I've seen others with flatter profiles so that makes sense. Without being too forward, I'd love to know your process for treating the handle. When I apply mineral oil to my handles it seems like some of the wood gets darker and loses some of the burl wood definition.
@@theneighborguy If I remember correctly (I did season the handle about five years ago) I used a mixture of Linseed oil, Tung oil, Turpentine oil and a few drops of varnish. So I did not apply them seperately. I repeated the application of that mixture three times in total, giving every application a chance to dry thoroughly overnight. If I say so myself and as you could see in the video, the results are fantastic!
@Chef Knives Enthusiast Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate you sharing that with me. Yes, I was blown away by that handle, much better than original factory condition, you did a great job!
I just got a new 235mm Keskin Gyuto and the handle is a burl type of acacia and this treatment is going to be fantastic, thanks again
I hope you use for cut potato or other vegetable for test the sharpenest knife. Sorry my speaking english verry bad 👍👍🙏🙏
Nice video Mr. Enthusiast. Enjoy your stay at Bali!
Just some recommendation: those memes are way too much, like seriously :D sometimes less is more
No such thing as too many memes my friend 😘
@@chefknivesenthusiastyes, way too many memes. Cheapens your content.
@@artagain8977 Thank you for your constructive feedback.
@@chefknivesenthusiast btw, I have the Santuko Miyabi Black. Lovely knife.
@artagain8977 Those are nice factory knives indeed. Flawless fit and finish. The steel is not easy to sharpen, but they cut well. My personal preference goes to hand crafted carbon steel knives though.
Beautiful Hometown wanto
Beautiful Bali! Sanur is nice. Before Sanur they have lived in Seminyak, Ubud and Blahbatuh. Where in Indonesia do you live?
@@chefknivesenthusiast I am from Malaysia bro always love Bali so beautiful
@@bidin5253 Ah Malaysia. I only have been in Kualumpur.
@@chefknivesenthusiast yup before I work in kl now I work in omakase restaurant in penang
@@chefknivesenthusiast next time come to Penang bro would love to treat to good food
Berapa harganya pisau miyabi itu?
Tentang 5.500.000 IDR. Depending on where you buy it.
Happy New Year! It looks like you're enjoying the sunshine and warmth of Bali.
Congrats on the sponsor... Buyee seems like it can be useful for me in the future, so I will bookmark it.
And I miss your cat 😺
I miss my cat too! Thanks for the support 🙏🏾 I think Buyee can be useful for me too knowing that I can ship anything from Japan to my doorstep and sometimes saving lots of money too.
