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. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look.Handcrafted in Seki, Japan

[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

[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.
