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 100 layers of steel. MIYABI's innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look.

Beautiful knife, great blade and very balanced. Japanese knives are always a bit more maintenance in my experience- but this one has the additional concern that the birch stains extremely easy. I was cutting fruit and now my birch knife is a red color— I guess it was an extremely memorable batch of jam. A tad disappointing that the wood has no seal and is So susceptible to stain, not the best situation to have ruined a $300+ knife with a few strawberries.

I've had well made, sharp knives for decades. Or at least I thought I had until I stated using my new Miyabi knife set.The craftmenship, strength and sharpness of these knives are outstanding. The handles make them easy to grip and the balanced weight make using them feel natural.And the sharpness! Wow!You won't be disappointed with these knives.(Note: One of the plugs that covers the rivet in the handle popped out of one knife. But it's still functioning properly.)

Handle is very comfortable, the blade has a beautiful damascus pattern and is extremely sharp. I can't speak on edge retention because I haven't used it enough yet, but SG2 steel is supposed to have some of the best edge retention out there.These knives are japanese style, so they are sharper than western knives, but have thinner steel, so they are a bit more fragile. If you handle them with care they will treat you well.I just wish miyabi sold more products for caring for the wood handle. Birchwood is a great handle wood but it stains easily and needs to be treated to avoid absorbing food liquids. A good cutting board oil or wax goes a long way in making these types of knife last longer.

Well overall product is great. I love the weight in the handle and the roundness of it. Definitely some great aesthetic with the shuttle red strip and the burl of the birch wood. My only concern would be the birch wood moisture absorption from cleaning over time. A good linseed oil or some mineral spirits wild help the longevity of the handle. I hope not to ever buy another knife set.
This knife set if beautiful and sharp! It's made a huge difference in our kitchen. These things cut through vegetables like butter. We used to have to put in much more elbow grease to cut through things with our old knife set and decided to try something with better quality and this set has not disappointed! We love that this set includes a sharpening tool which we find super useful. This set is also very beautiful with its birchwood handles and artistic blade. Overall, we are very satisfied with this knife set. We highly recommend this knife set to anyone looking for beauty and superb quality.
This is a great starter knife set for a husband that likes to cook! Yes I am referring to myself and husbands all over. This knife set includes the essential Miyabi Birchwood knifes which is the most beautifully crafted knives. They look like works of art that belong in a museum and are incredibly sharp. They have helped make cooking fun and easier. The really like how they do not rust easily. My other high carbon Japanese knives are very sharp but need to be oiled and cared for extra well or they will rust. You can bet I’m going to collect the other ones also.
I fell in love with this Miyabi line the first time I picked one up. Miyabi Birchwood is a beautifully hand-crafted and made of the one of the best steels for kitchen knives. The smooth birchwood handle fits my hand perfectly; and the inset emblem is an elegant touch. But the part I really love is the blade. The exquisite flower patterned blades belie their hardness, their ability to keep an edge, their gleam. This set has all the basics. I've added to it, but could have been happy with this set by itself. Even the honing rod is is beautiful. What a joy. (I even like the scissors.)
These knives are a masterpiece! The birchwood handle is so comfortable to grip, slicing and dicing however I please. The craftsmanship is too notch with every blade made to perfection. All the knives are razor sharp right out the box. I cannot be more happier with this purchase and plan to complete my set as soon as possible!
These knives are insane! I bought them as a gift for my husband and now I’m obsessed with them too! When preparing dinner I had to slice the steak and they cut right through in one slice! These knives blew my mind! I highly recommend them to anyone in need of new knives! And the handles on these are so beautiful!
The birch handle knife set is absolutely gorgeous in the kitchen, fabulous feel in the hand, and superior performance to any knife set I’ve ever used in my 40+ years of passionate cooking.It’s like the new car feel that doesn’t wear off. They make me want to cook! They’re so excellent to use that I’m more creative with the meals I prepare, as well as prepping faster and presentation off the charts.From paper thin cucumber & onion slices to a perfectly diced sweet potato and gliding right through a London broil… perfection!You won’t be disappointed with how these knives turn up the heat in your kitchen skills!
