This set is a great set and includes some of the most used knives in the kitchen. These are super sharp and durable due to the super steel VG2, and the special ice-hardening process. These knives will last for years to come and they look fantastic, in my opinion, too. Love this Miyabi line and of Japanese knives!
This is one of the most beautiful knife sets that I have ever come across. I love how the handles have become a deeper and richer color the more I use them since the oils on my hand effects them. I get compliments on my beautiful knives whenever I have guests and it makes me feel like the food I make is elevated due to the beautiful knives I get to use while cooking. The knives are super sharp and I am able to work on my knife skills because of that.
Myabi is by far the best of the asian cutlery companies. The quality and selection offered exceed expectations for home cutlery. There are a lot of choices but in my opinion nothing beats the Birchwood collection. This set has everything you need to begin an amazing journey into eastern style food preparation. A 63 Rockwell center steel surrounded by 100 layers of a stunning flower damascus, is truly breathtaking. And to be honest it cuts better than anything else I've ever had the pleasure to use.
I fell in love with this Miyabi line the first time I picked one up. Miyabi Birchwood is a beautifully hand-crafted and made of the one of the best steels for kitchen knives. The smooth birchwood handle fits my hand perfectly; and the inset emblem is an elegant touch. But the part I really love is the blade. The exquisite flower patterned blades belie their hardness, their ability to keep an edge, their gleam. This set has all the basics. I've added to it, but could have been happy with this set by itself. Even the honing rod is is beautiful. What a joy. (I even like the scissors.)
What could be better than a Miyabi Birchwood Chef's knife....a whole block of them! Crafted with SG2 steel and then 100 layers of stainless to make the incredible damascus pattern these knives couldn't be sharper. The SG2 means they retain their razor sharpness longer. The Birchwood is soft yet firm. Hand wash and dry to keep looking their best!
These knives boast SG2 steel and 100 layers of steel. For being a thin Japanese blade, it definitely is very sharp. One of the sharpest you'll ever use! The feel of these handles is indescribable. They are soft, yet firm. The birchwood was a beautiful choice.
Not only are they beautiful to look at, but also are made well and a dream to hold and have for cooking. A top of the line Miyabi block set that will last. The handles feel so comfortable & no slip grip on these! A few extra slots so you can add more as you need them! Love that a Santoku was included for all my veggies!
