Second the brittleness point. I dropped a chefs knife of similar make from counter-height and it snapped like 2 inches down from the tip.

I'm not sure any knives of this style can be BIFL. Just because they are designed to be thin and light.

Something like a cleaver can be because it's a hefty hunk of metal.

Dropping any knife from counter height will potentially ruin it, whether the most expensive Yoshihiro Custom Kiritsuki, a KitchenAid WalMart Special, or a Benchmade pigsticker. Dropping ruins knives. Absolutely these Miyabi knives can be BIFL if properly cared for and maintained.
