Detail
Summary
Forged in Seki, Japan, this beautiful Miyabi knife combines exceptional Japanese craftsmanship with the best German blade-hardening technology and stunning modern design. The blade is expertly layered with SG2 micro-carbide powder steel using an innovative ice-hardening process. Each side is finished with 50 layers of floral-patterned Damascus steel to protect the long-lasting sharpness of the Cryodur blade while increasing its corrosion-resistance. The scalpel-like knife edge is hand sharpened using a traditional three-step Honbazuke method, which includes a final mirror polish to create the exquisite finish. The traditional D-shaped handle is made from prized Karelian (Masur) birch – the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. This versatile knife is the utility blade of the kitchen, sized for a range of prep work, such as cutting and peeling small vegetables, fruit and herbs.
- SG2 micro-carbide powder steel blade is protected by 100 layers of Damascus stainless steel (50 on each side) and hand hammered in a striking floral pattern.
- Authentic thin Japanese blade profile enables lightweight handling for precise control.
- Fine carbide distribution creates razor-sharp blade with Rockwell hardness 63.
- Double ice-hardened FRIODUR blade provides remarkable durability, corrosion-resistance and edge-retention.
- Using historic Honbazuke method, blade is hand honed to exceptionally sharp 9.5–12 degree angle.
- Blade has rounded spine and heel.
- Karelian (Masur) birch handle features mosaic pin and engraved Miyabi logo on end cap.
- Ergonomic D-shaped handle is comfortable to hold.
- Handcrafted in Seki, Japan – a city renowned for producing the highest-quality cutlery.

Awesome knife!

I use this knife daily. Amazingly sharo and the handle has the perfect feel!

Wonderful, beautiful, and precise

The second Birchwood series knife in our collection, purchased to compliment our chef’s knife. The build quality, fit, and finish are second to none. The blade and handle configuration are perfect, even for my thick large hands and fingers. It’s maintained a sharp edge and is easily sharpened, just like the chef’s knife. I’m so very pleased, it’s a joy to challenge myself to create more exacting cuts. It’s a perfect addition, bridging the gap between a chef’s knife and a paring knife. In fact, I no longer reach for my paring knife.

Great Feel

This knife has a great hand feel - slim but sure grip and well balanced. I also love the marbled wood design in the handle. It really stands out among my collection.

Little Chef

I absolutely love this petite knife. I wouldn't say I like using traditional pairing knives, and this knife is the perfect in-between.

Beautiful and Capable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a birchwood as a gift for a colleague a couple years ago and have been jealous ever since. Finally decided to reward myself and grab a couple for myself. Beautiful as ever and so sharp. Makes easy work of any prep job. Great middle of the road size for when a chef's knife is a little too much for the job but a paring just won't do. Goldilocks knife for veg prep.
