MIYABI Birchwood 9 Sharpening Steel

The MIYABI Birchwood is a masterpiece of culinary art, where both the blade and handle are crafted from the most exquisite materials, resulting in a striking appearance. Beneath its beautiful exterior lies a potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, protected by 100 layers of steel. MIYABI's innovative ice-hardening process ensures the long-lasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades, while the flower Damascus pattern adds to the blade's durability.

Complementing the scalpel-like blade is the equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. Karelian Birch is a prized material for knife handles, and it is the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg, making it a true testament to its beauty and craftsmanship. The MIYABI Birchwood knives are not only exquisite but also ergonomic, ensuring that they feel as good as they look.

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the MIYABI Birchwood knives feature a number of impressive technical specifications. The blades are made from SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, which provides exceptional durability and sharpness. The authentic thin Japanese blade profile is hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process, resulting in a 9.5 to 12 degree edge that is both precise and efficient.

The CRYODUR blades are ice-hardened to Rockwell 63, ensuring a long-lasting edge and superior performance. The 101-layer flower Damascus design with a katana edge adds to the blade's aesthetic appeal and functionality. The traditional Japanese Karelian (Masur) Birch handle not only looks stunning but also provides a comfortable and ergonomic grip.

Attention to detail is paramount in the craftsmanship of the MIYABI Birchwood knives. The rounded spine and heel provide a smooth and comfortable user experience, while the handcrafted construction in Seki, Japan, ensures the highest level of quality and precision.

In conclusion, the MIYABI Birchwood is a true masterpiece of culinary engineering, combining exceptional materials, innovative technology, and meticulous craftsmanship to create a knife that is both beautiful and highly functional. Whether you are a professional chef or a passionate home cook, the MIYABI Birchwood is a must-have addition to your kitchen arsenal.
