Item Description

Authentically Japanese in design, each knife features 101 layers of forged steel to create a delicate Damascus pattern. Each blade in the Miyabi Birchwood collection is hand-honed using a traditional three-step honbazuke process. The genuine hamon edge—the visible line where flexible outer layers and incredibly hard core layer meet—is reminiscent of legendary Japanese swords.

  • Fifty layers clad on each side of Cryodur-hardened SG2 microcarbide steel core
  • Cryodur process for ultimate hardness, initial sharpness, cutting edge retention, and the best possible corrosion resistance and flexibility of blade
  • Each blade is sharpened twice on whetstones with custom grits, followed by mirror polishing on a leather wheel
  • Blades are sharpened to optimal 9½° to 12° angle on both sides for scalpel-like precision
  • Rockwell hardness of 63
  • D-shape of the natural Masur birch handle creates a comfortable grip and ensures tireless cutting, even with frequent use

  • Paring knife for peeling, slicing and dicing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables
  • Bread knife for cleanly slicing even crusty loaves without tearing

  • Chef’s knife makes it easy to chop, dice, slice and mince large quantities of meat and vegetables
  • Stainless steel kitchen shears are handy for trimming pie dough, snipping chives and removing fat from raw poultry
