MIYABI BIRCHWOOD SG2 8 inch chef's knife

DESCRIPTION

This chef’s knife is an all-rounder tool, designed for those who prefer a large-bladed knife. Chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with this workhorse blade, and then transport ingredients on the generous blade from the cutting board to a bowl or pan.

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, top-of-the-line MIYABI Birchwood is a work of culinary 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 a stunning 100-layer flower Damascus pattern. MIYABI’s innovative, CRYODUR® ice-hardening process locks in the blade’s long-lasting sharpness.

The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking and comfortable Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look.
