I absolutely love this knife. Have had the Birchwood chef for a few months and thought Id treat myself to another pretty birchwood shape. First off, the handle is georgous! I know it requires a bit more attention because it is really wood and can swell and shrink if its wet too long,But that said, its such a beautiful knife I'd take extra good care of it any way! the smaller chef size is new to me and I am now forever a fan! Chopping and slicing with an asian chef, the flatter blade has much better contact area with the cutting board and cleaner cuts of the vegetables. It is lightweight but does the job as well or better than other knives. My hubby thinks the handle is a bit slight for him... Great he will stay away from my knife!
The Birchwood series from Miyabi is a must for every kitchen. You will fall in love with the way it looks AND performs! I like the feel of a 6" Chef, as sometimes a 7 or 8" is too big for my hand. The Damascus pattern is stunning and makes for a sharp and durable knife!
This knife is a perfect size for everyday use in any kitchen. It’s very sharp and holds an edge for a long time. The Damascus pattern on the blade is beautiful. The handle is lightweight and each handle varies from each other.
These Birchwood knives are beautifully crafted. A comfortable handle and exceptionally sharp 101 layer Damascus patterned blade allow the knife to effortless glide through everything placed on the cutting board.
This 6" Miyabi Birchwood is slightly shorter but still a versatile knife. Perfect for someone like me, smaller hand grip and I liked a lightweight knife but sharp. This knife's blade features a Katana edge, it is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand. The Potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel, hand-honed using the traditional 3-step Japanese Honbazuke method. 5000MCD, Cryodur ice-hardened; 63 Rockwell hardness, flower Damascus pattern provides added durability and helps prevent food from sticking. Every Miyabi knife deserves proper care.
This knife is as sharp as they come. Made from the top of the line SG2 steel, the blade is exceptionally sharp. The blade also has a 100 layers surrounding the core adding to the lifetime durability of the knife. It's truly beautiful.
