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. What a joy. And this slicing knife is the ultimate for raw fish and meats. Enjoy these knives for a lifetime.
What a great slicer knife. The blade is beautiful, with 101 layers of SG2 steel, it is an amazing piece of art, and it slices so smoothly, like butter. The Birchwood handle feels so nice in hand, and looks perfect with the blade aesthetic. Miyabi makes wonder and durable Japanese knives, definitely one of the best slicers knives on the market.
Like all of the Birchwood knives, the slicing knife is an amazing forged piece of work. The 101 layers on the blade are stunning. The scapel like edge slices beautifully. The handle is like no other.
I use this knife maybe twice a year. After buying, I immediately threw the electric sharpener in storage. Knife cuts extremely precise, sliced the turkey and ham like butter. EFFORTLESS
Every holiday table should be adorned with this knife. It slices through meat beautifully. Its sharpness comes from a SG2 steel core with 100 layers of additional steel to protect the core. Iced hardened using the Cryrodur method, the knife is flexible yet exceptionally durable.
Rock out your slicing tasks with this beautiful birchwood knife from Miyabi. Take care not to expose the comfortable handle to too much water as to avoid cracking. The 9" Damascus layered blade stays sharp and beautiful for a long time.
