What about it is bad? Does it not hold an edge well? It's VG10 steel so that would surprise me. I could probably send it back, but I'm not sure I want to. Admittedly I don't particularly mind if it requires a little more sharpening, I'm still learning to do it and it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to get a little more practical practice.
I'll still consider trading it in, but $100 all things considered isn't necessarily the worst price for a good looking knife with some flaws. I'd be surprised to look back with regret on it unless it fails catastrophically on me. Do you think Miyabi is to be avoided altogether, or just this model? I considered holding off to get this essentially improved version of the same knife- https://www.amazon.com/MIYABI-34373-203-Miyabi-Chefs-Knife/dp/B00BKEODHG/ or this other Miyabi with a nicer blade but less spectacular handle- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPTQD6Y/ref=psdc_289857_t1_B00BKEODHG
On mobile so I can't do a "fancy" link, but here you go! I don't know why OP is ashamed of tell you how much he paid, it's an amazing knife!

My question is why would you pay $300 for Mac's 8" gyuto when you can get this $40 less and this for $70 less?
