The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 Chef's Knife is a true masterpiece in the world of culinary art. This top-of-the-line knife is crafted from the most precious materials, including a potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel that is protected by 100 layers of steel. The innovative ice-hardening process used to create the CRYODUR blades ensures long-lasting sharpness, while the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle, which not only looks exquisite but also feels ergonomic in your hand.

- Flower Damascus design with katana edge: The beautiful flower Damascus design not only adds aesthetic appeal but also provides added durability to the knife's exterior.

This knife has been the workhorse of my collection for over 10 years. The beautiful design of the Damascus patterned steel with the birchwood handle makes for a showpiece knife that will still get the job done. A thicker blade makes breaking down poultry a breeze, and without fear of chipping it's been my go-to for spatch-cocking or disjointing chicken.... Read more
Ideal for
- Blade hold sharpness through heavy chopping
- Handle end cap is great for mashing garlic, ginger, spices
- Balanced weight has a solid feeling in the hand, shape lends to natural chopping motions
Not ideal for
- Handle care, birchwood can erode over time if not properly cared for
- Blade chipping on harder bones (beef, pork)
- Thicker blade not as great for mincing fine herbs, but still handles well

Great guy!
5 /5
I had narrowed my choices between two high end brands but each had different options and features, and honestly, I was overwhelmed. I posed a question on Google and Curated popped up so I filled out a bit of information.
Admittedly I was snarky because I thought it would be a bot! Brad isn't a bot! LoL He's quite knowledgeable and helped me sort through the differences and found what best suited my needs. I'm very pleased with my experience with him and Curated and am looking forward to my next two purchases already chosen with his help. Thanks!|

This made shopping for cookware so much easier! Mike took into consideration my needs and made great recommendations. His finds were well though out and the explanations from Annette made it easy to follow on with questions to tailor the recommendations even further. I would definitely recommend and will probably use again in the future.

5 /5
It is especially important to me that a salesperson is not pushy…I wasn’t sure at first, but I had a great Curated experience. David clearly has cooking experience to answer my questions the way he did, and he did research (temp tolerances) when he didn’t know a detail. So helpful! This was a great shopping experience; thank you!
