Description
Top-of-the-line MIYABI Birchwood is a work of culinary art. Both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance.More than meets the eye, the potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. MIYABI's innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability.The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle.

Kiritsuke review
The 9.5-inch Kiritsuke is a beautiful blade. A little pricey at its full price. I bought it at a sale and enjoyed using it. Stays sharp and easy to sharpen. One of the best factory made Japanese knifes you can buy outside of artisan knifes.

Amazing knife!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For my first Japanese knife, this kiritsuke sliced so smooth and sharp. Far exceeded my expectation that I went and bought another matching piece. Beautiful design and great cutting edge. Looking forward to many years of use

Stunning.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 9.5 inch Kiritsuke is simply stunning. Not only does the knife feel good in your hands but feels amazing in use. Simply put - not all knives are equal and this is ahead of all the rest. Having used Shun/Kikuichi/Global/Wusthof for years I can say with confidence I’m sticking with Miyabi.

Sharpest knife in the block!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife slices through meat and vegetables with minimum effort. It is superb for taking thin delicate slices. It is well balanced and fits the hand nicely. This will take place of pride in extensive collection.
