Miyabi Birchwood SG2 2 Piece Chef's & Paring Knife Set
The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 (5000MCD) series represents the pinnacle of Japanese blade-smithing. This 2-piece set provides the two most essential tools for any kitchen: the workhorse 8-inch Gyutoh (Chef's Knife) for effortless slicing and dicing, and the 3.5-inch Paring Knife for intricate detail work. At the heart of each blade is a core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, protected by 100 layers of two different steels, creating a stunning "Flower Damascus" pattern. Hand-honed in Seki, Japan, using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke process, these blades feature a scalpel-like 9.5° to 12° edge. Key Features: Exotic Karelian Birch Handles: Each knife is finished with a traditional D-shaped handle made from Karelian (Masur) Birch—a rare wood so prized for its unique rippling grain that it was the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. The result is a set that is as much a gallery piece as it is a high-performance culinary instrument. SG2 Micro-Carbide Core: One of the world’s hardest steels (63 Rockwell), ensuring an edge that stays sharp significantly longer than standard stainless steel. 101-Layer Flower Damascus: A breathtaking aesthetic that also provides exceptional durability and prevents food from sticking to the blade. CRYODUR® Ice-Hardened: The blades undergo a signature -196°C ice-hardening process to maximize corrosion resistance and edge retention. Traditional D-Shape Handle: Ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue during long prep sessions, accented with a mosaic pin and decorative end cap. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan: Produced by master artisans in the historic capital of Japanese sword-making. Learn More
