Miyabi Birchwood SG2 6.5" Nakiri Knife

The Miyabi Birchwood 6.5" Nakiri is a kitchen knife specifically designed for effortlessly slicing vegetables. Its sleek and straight edge allows for efficient cutting without the need for any back and forth motion, just a simple downward pressure. This knife is meticulously handcrafted in Seki, Japan, known for its exceptional craftsmanship. It boasts a stunning Damascus shell with a high-quality SG2 core that has been ice hardened to a perfect 63 HRC. As a result, this knife offers outstanding edge retention and wear resistance, making it a reliable tool in the kitchen. Not only does it perform exceptionally well, but it also serves as a beautiful centerpiece in any kitchen. The Birchwood line from Miyabi is easily recognizable by its distinctive Damascus blades with SG2 cores and raw birchwood handles. However, it's important to note that the raw wood handles can absorb liquids, potentially causing damage to the knife. To ensure its longevity, it is crucial to thoroughly dry the knife after each cleaning. The Miyabi brand, a part of Zwilling J.A. Henckels, combines the best of Japanese materials and German design. Each knife is meticulously hand-finished, resulting in a razor-sharp blade that is truly a work of art.
