The MIYABI Birchwood collection represents the pinnacle of culinary craftsmanship, featuring both blade and handle made from exquisite materials that enhance their stunning appearance. The core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is encased in 100 layers of steel, offering exceptional strength and longevity. MIYABI's unique ice-hardening process ensures the CRYODUR blades maintain their sharpness over time, while the flower Damascus pattern adds durability. The sharp, scalpel-like blade pairs beautifully with a Karelian (Masur) Birch handle, a prestigious material historically used in Faberge eggs. Ergonomically designed, MIYABI Birchwood knives not only look magnificent but also provide superior comfort and control during use. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the set includes a 6.5" Nakiri Knife and a 5" Paring Knife.
