Birchwood SG2 2pc Knife Set

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.

This 2-piece set includes the reliable, small-scale 6-inch chef’s knife for chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing. The 3.5-inch paring knife is a small, versatile, and nimble blade for smaller tasks like peeling vegetables, creating garnishes, and segmenting citrus.

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.
