The MIYABI Birchwood series is a masterpiece of culinary craftsmanship, combining exquisite design with exceptional performance. Both the blade and handle are crafted from the finest materials, creating a striking and elegant appearance. At its core, SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is encased within 100 layers of steel, ensuring remarkable strength and durability. The innovative CRYODUR ice-hardening process enhances the blade’s long-lasting sharpness, while the intricate flower Damascus pattern adds both beauty and resilience. Complementing the scalpel-like blade is a stunning Karelian (Masur) Birch handle, a rare and prized material known for its unique grain and historical significance—it is the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. Ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, MIYABI Birchwood knives offer precision, balance, and elegance. Each knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, where tradition and innovation come together to create an extraordinary cutting experience.
