Miyabi Birchwood SG2 - 5.5" Prep Knife

The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 represents the pinnacle of Japanese cutlery craftsmanship. At its core lies SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, fortified by 100 layers of protective steel and refined through MIYABI's proprietary ice-hardening process to achieve exceptional edge retention. The distinctive flower Damascus pattern enhances both durability and visual appeal. Paired with a handle fashioned from rare Karelian Birch—the same material prized for Faberge eggs—this 5.5" prep knife delivers a blade of surgical precision with ergonomic sophistication. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in Seki, Japan, where tradition meets innovation.
