Product description

Style Name:SG2 Chef's Knife, 8-inch

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. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan

Best knife I have ever used.

November 24, 2015

Style Name: SG2 Chef's Knife, 8-inchVerified Purchase

Absolutely incredible knife, you get what you pay for. I've been cooking professionally for five years and I've used a lot of different knives in that time. They all have their merits, you can get a decent chef's knife that will take you far in the kitchen world for thirty bucks. However, if you've done your research about different types of steel, different handles and brand reputation, you are more likely to choose something like this. I think we all know the main competition of Myabi rhymes with Junn, and they make good knives too, I've used them. This knife however, while similar to it's counterpart, far surpasses it it in my opinion. Much lighter, much higher quality steel (research SG2 vs. VG-10), and 101 layers of steel to form this knife. Myabi knows what they are doing. This blade is beautiful, I would have gone with it purely based on the steel specs but let's face it, that Damascus pattern is stunning. I bought a Teak end-grain cutting board at the same time and the pair are really stunning. The handle is unfinished, I rubbed it down with mineral oil on arrival and it brought out a brilliant glow.

If you are going to spend the $230 (compare to hand-made shipped from Japan for anywhere from $600-$5000) then you need to learn to maintain a knife as nice as this. Get a water stone and learn to use it, for this knife I recommend either 1000/6000 grit or 3000/8000 grit. DO NOT assault this knife with a diamond steel or an electric wheel and complain that you can't get an edge. Every time someone does that to a nice blade a kitchen angel bursts into flame. My next step is stropping which gets it to where it will slice phone book paper, not held in the hand but simply folded so it's tall on a cutting board with a straight downward swipe. Obviously knives this sharp will go straight through whatever you set them too, including newbie's finger-tips. Honestly probably not the best "My first kitchen job" present, but for someone who loves to cook, this is something very special. -Mario B.

It's a good looking knife

Style Name: SG2 Chef's Knife, 8-inchVerified Purchase

The birds eye handle, the many layers of Damascus folding, this thing is awesome to look at. Yes, it is sharp, though had mine for a few months now and it'll need to be resharpened. We use ours everyday, got this and a 5" pairing knife and that handles 90% of our cooking needs. I used mineral oil on the handle as soon as i got it to lock in the color. Well made, good balance.

The best knife you'll ever own.

June 23, 2016

Style Name: SG2 Chef's Knife, 6-inchVerified Purchase

This knife is razor sharp. It makes cutting tomatoes unbelievable. It's almost as though you can rest your knife on the tomato and it cuts itself. The hand is a work of art and is the perfect size to hold, has a great feel to it and the balance between the handle and the blade are perfect. The blade too is a work of art. I am not a professional chef, I am someone who has loved cooking for all of my adult life (many, many years) and I would have never dreamed of a knife being such an incredible tool and I've always had good knives. This one though, is in a class of it's own.

Style Name: SG2 Chef's Knife, 8-inchVerified Purchase

I have worked in kitchens for 36 years and have used many popular knives. This is the best. Don't let the narrow heel and light weight fool you. I can cut anything so thin you can see though them. It is literally a 8" razor. Treat it with respect and attention to avoid injury. Follow cleaning directions carefully for it to last. If you work in a restaurant this knife is a must. If you are a home chef this knife is a must.

Fantastic, beautiful knife

January 8, 2014

Style Name: SG2 Chef's Knife, 8-inchVerified Purchase

I saw these online when I was looking at high end knives for me to buy one. There are a couple options you can go for. Some brands have student kits with entry level blades you can get for cheaper. A couple have some knives that are more expensive. I liked this one because of the gorgeous design which was the only criteria I could judge from a picture. The blade is beautiful - I thought you would only find these on japanese made katanas and in movies. The handle is a fine looking light birchwood, sanded or polished to a silky smooth finish. The knife is perfectly balanced at the bolster (the little metal bit where the handle ends and before the cutting edge begins). I could rest it on the back of another knife and have it balance.

As for the performance of the knife, I am in awe. It is a pleasure to wield (see the aforementioned balance) and the cutting edge is a thing to fear. I held up a wet washcloth and brought the knife to it (sideways - gravity was not helping the knife). No slashing was needed; I simply rested the knife blade against the cloth in mid air and could feel it bite into the spongy fabric. I pulled back on the knife and could feel no resistance from the cloth as I watched it fall away.

This is now the only blade I use in the kitchen (this and a matching paring knife). Over the years I have had many knives as part of knife block sets or general cutlery sets and they now all reside in a container hidden in a low drawer. Meat, fish, vegetables all slice apart effortlessly now. It was advised not to cut through bone with this knife as it could damage the blade, but a chef's knife is not for that in the first place. I think the only knife sharper than this kind is the Korin with carbon steel blade but it requires a lot more care and cleaning around acidic food (like tomatoes). This blade is more corrosion resistant though and still unbelievably sharp.

You get a nice knife box that it comes in (I'll take pictures and edit this post) and instructions to hand wash only with a mild detergent, and then wipe dry. This is no grocery store knife, this is a work of art.

All that being said, this knife is not for everybody. It costs a lot, so if you are a student or now starting out there are knife sets you can get from reputable brands that might be more value for you. If your knife handling is sub par, then stay far away from this blade. If you are a professional chef you would likely know better than me or already have a favorite knife. However if you spend a lot of time preparing food or you know someone who does and if you/they have the money for it, then it is an excellent choice. Miyabi has other knife styles and blade materials but this one gets my recommendation.

I've started collecting Japanese chef knives and although I like them all for their own merits, I've yet to come across any that can compare to the intricate details of this Miyabi at this price point. It caught my eye initially b/c I didn't have a Damascus style knife and this one having the SG2 powder steel piqued my curiosity. It was hair popping sharp out of the box and the Damascus and Birchwood are works of art. I liked it enough to pickup the matching paring knife as well.
