Adding to your Birchwood collection? This 6" chef knife may make a nice addition! If you prefer a smaller chef knife for your prep work, this 6" Birchwood is a beautiful and durable option. The handle is comfortable but be sure not to expose it to too much water/moisture to avoid the wood cracking. The strong, Damascus steel also stays incredibly sharp for a long time and will effortlessly cut through anything.
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. The chef’s knives are flatter – great for chopping; especially for someone who grew up with a nakiri as my training knife. Enjoy these knives for a lifetime.
Bought this knife about 2 months ago. Use it several times a week and it just cuts through everything like butter. Super beautiful blade and holds a scary sharp edge.
