Birchwood SG2 8-inch Chef’s Knife

Loved by chefs and enthusiasts alike for their powerful, hand-hammered steel blades that prevent food from sticking, MIYABI knives are the ultimate melding of tradition and innovation. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, an homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago. The Birchwood SG2 8-inch Chef’s Knife is a true work of art. Both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance. More than meets the eye, the potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. MIYABI’s innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the floral Damascus pattern provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg.
