Miyabi Birchwood 6 in. Chef Knife

The Miyabi Birchwood 6 in. (160mm) Chef Knife is perfect for cooks who feel most comfortable working with a smaller blade. This sized knife is also well suited for small kitchens.The chef's knife is the most versatile knife shape, designed to be used for slicing, mincing, dicing, and chopping. This chef’s knife is designed especially for smaller hands and those that prefer a lighter style chef’s knife that lets you effortlessly slice, dice, and chop through prep work.



  • 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.
