Miyabi Birchwood 9.5" Kiritsuke

Miyabi Birchwood is a work of culinary art. Both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance. The durable core of SG2 micro-carbide powdered steel is protected by 100 layers of stainless steel. The ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades. The remarkable 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.
