## Overview

The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 is an 8-inch Japanese chef's knife featuring a hand-honed Honbazuke edge sharpened to 9.5°–12°, crafted from SG2 micro-carbide powder steel with a 100-layer flower Damascus pattern. Its ergonomic handle is made from rare Karelian Birch wood, combining luxury and comfort. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife offers professional durability and precision, enhanced by CRYODUR ice-hardening technology for exceptional edge retention.

## Description

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 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 flower 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. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

Review: Gorgeous work of art - Phenomenal knife. What can be said about a piece of art that is perfect in every way. Miyabi is among the greats when it comes to forging a sharp, versatile, and beautiful blade. The Birchwood handle is lightweight, balanced, and beautiful. If there is one negative, I would say I wish it came sheathed. Something that is easy rectified by [another] purchase

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does Miyabi's lifetime warranty include on this knife?**
A: Wear and tear.  I am not sure if it covers it if you run over if!!!

**Q: Anyone use boos mystery oil + board cream to care for handle?**
A: We do not recommend any oils or creams for the Miyabi handles.

**Q: Is the knife for right-handed users as well what sheath would you recommend with it**
A: Um... Of course it is design for right hand. The angel of the edge are different. 9 and 12 degrees. However,  it is ok for me to use it with left hand. :)The box of the knife is so beautiful that i cannot throw it. I put the knife back to the box after I use it. :). So, i don't use sheath. The edge is very sharp and thin. If you put it sheath or shelve, you need to find a suitable one for it.

**Q: Whats the Vanadium content of the alloy?**
A: 1.21 Jigawatts

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing chefs knife
*by R***1 on 11 December 2015*

Amazing chefs knife. Beautiful birch wood handle. Plenty sharp out of the box, but I'll be sending it to my sharpening guy to make it even better. I've always wanted to own this knife, but it was slightly out of my price range ($350USD). Now I have it and for the amazing price of $240 Canadian!!! Everyone needs a knife like this in their lives :)
