After using my Birchwood Chef all the time, I decided that i wanted another knife in the collection. went back and forth between the Santoku and the Nakiri for days, I am so happy with this choice, nothing wrong with the santoku ( will probably get that next) but the Nakiri cuts so beautifully! the balance and the feel of the handle have made this my new favorite knife. It looks so impressive and I'm amazed that they were able to keep such a sharp, lightweight, knife and maintain the 101 layer Damascus. You need this knife now!
This knife brings me joy. It is beautifully hand crafted and made of the one of the best steels for cutlery. The smooth birchwood handle with inset moniker are an elegant touch. But the part I really love is the nakiri shaped blade. I just sliced raw chicken with it. In an hour it will chop all my vegetables. I can use it for everything.
This birchwood handle is so comfortable, it feels like an extension of your hand. This super sharp Nakiri style blade allows you to cut your vegetables all the way through to the cutting board without having to use a push or pull.
This knife has definitely been crafted well. We a 63 rockwell hardness I don't have to worry about the steel not being hard enough. The handle is amazing, the birch wood makes it super soft but hard at the same time. It fits so well in my hand! Between the quality and craftsmanship, I would highly recommend the investment.
This is one of my favorite knives in the Miyabi collection. It is not only very sharp, but extremely durable as well. This is great to use on vegetables and nothing sticks to it, which is a great benefit of the surface of this blade. Hand wash then dry and this knife will last for years to come.
101 layers of sheer bliss! This has been a great alternative to my Santoku, although I still use both. Using it mostly for veggies, it is one of the more beautiful knives I have seen or used! The birch handle is both attractive and a comfort. It also cuts through the hardest outer layers like melons and will not disappoint! Well worth the price to own this "wow" knife!
I was so excited when they came out with this knife in the Birchwood. Prefer over any other Santoku or Nakiri. Perfect for everyday prep and fun to use!
The Nakiri is my sons' new favorite knife. It is the ultimate chopper but can rock too. The SG2 steel makes this the sharpest of knives. And the birchwood handle feels perfect in your hand, providing a "non slip" finish. I love how this handle darkens from the oil in my hands; it makes it uniquely mine.
