Miyabi Birchwood 5.5 in. Prep Knife

Miyabi Birchwood 5.5 in. (140mm) Prep Knife is an alternative to a normal utility knife or petty knife. This has a wider blade at the heel, making it easier to use on the cutting board with more knuckle clearance. This 5.5-inch prep knife features a slightly curved blade, perfect for rocking cuts on a cutting board and for precision prep work in-hand. It’s perfect for chopping herbs, slicing meat, and dicing vegetables. 



  • 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. 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.
