Topoftheline 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 microcarbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. MIYABI's innovative, icehardening process locks in the longlasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability.The scalpellike blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle.
