Excellent Quality Miyabi Birchwood Nakiri Knife, 7″

A traditional alternative to larger, Western-style knives, this Japanese-style vegetable cleaver features a unique blade shape that’s great for slicing and dicing vegetables, mincing herbs and cutting fruit or cheese.

Each knife in the Birchwood collection features 101 layers of steel—50 layers clad on each side of the Cryodur-hardened SG2 microcarbide steel core—forming a delicate Damascus pattern with a Rockwell hardness of 63. Blades are hand-honed using a traditional three-step process. Plus, the D-shape of the natural Masur birch handle creates a comfortable grip and ensures tireless cutting, even with frequent use.
