Evolution 3.5-Inch Paring Knife

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.
