Miyabi Birchwood Paring Knives
Authentically Japanese in design, each knife features 101 layers of steel-50 layers clad on each side of the Cryodur-hardened SG2 microcarbide steel core-forming a delicate Damascus pattern with a Rockwell hardness of 63. Each blade in the Birchwood collection is hand-honed using a traditional three-step honbazuke process. It's sharpened twice on whetstones with custom grits, followed by mirror polishing on a leather wheel. The genuine hamon edge-a visible line where flexible outer layers and incredibly hard core layer meet-is reminiscent of legendary Japanese swords. A hamon edge is a sign of superior craftsmanship. The D-shape of the natural Masur birch handle creates a comfortable grip and ensures tireless cutting, even with frequent use. Handle features an intricate mosaic center pin, red detailing, and engraved endcap. This versatile utility knife is perfect for slicing, chopping, carving, and more.
