Overview
A Damascus-patterned blade of SG2 steel is the working part of this Miyabi Birchwood chef's knife, joined to a handle of Karelian birch. The flower Damascus pattern is built from many layers, and the knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
Layered Damascus cladding and a birch handle give the knife a decorative, hand-finished character. The limitation is the sparse listing, which offers only the handle length beyond what the title says.
Who it's for
