Each knife boasts a luxurious Karelian Birchwood handle, ergonomically designed for comfort and style.

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, it’s the ultimate fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern performance. ## Description Top-of-the-line 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 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. MIYABI's innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the CRYODUR blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan Review: A sexy looking knife set! - The best knives thus far we've purchased. I picked this set up for my wife as a Christmas present! She absolutely loves them. Out of the box they are super sharp! Balanced feel in the hands and the birchwood handle is very comfortable. The set comes with the most used set of knives. But shall you need additional, you can purchase individually. Which I plan on doing in the future. As a plus, it also serves as a great decorative piece on the counter. Highly recommend. Review: quality - my son showed me his set of knives and told me everything about the manufacturing process. We own a high end custom cabinet shop and I appreciate quality and craftsmanship in all things. I was so impressed with this product I just had to add it to my kitchen tools. ## Features - Includes 3.5" Parer; 7" Santoku; 8" Chef; 9" Bread; Stainless Steel Shears; 9" Birchwood Handle Steel; 12-Slot Bamboo Block - Authentic thin Japanese blade profile - Hand-honed using the three-step Honbazuke process to a 9.5 to 12 degree edge - CRYODUR blade, ice-hardened to Rockwell 63 - 101-layer flower Damascus design with katana edge - Traditional Japanese Karelian (Masur) Birch handle - Rounded spine and heel - Handcrafted in Seki, Japan - 3.5" Parer; 7" Santoku; 8" Chef; 9" Bread; Stainless Steel Shears; 9" Birchwood Handle Steel; 12-Slot Bamboo Block ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ETFF9DU | | Best Sellers Rank | #260,541 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #388 in Block Knife Sets | | Blade Edge | Plain (9.5-12 degrees) | | Blade Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Blade edge | Plain (9.5-12 degrees) | | Blade material | Alloy Steel | | Brand | MIYABI | | Brand Name | MIYABI | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 17 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00035886302108 | | Handle Material | Karelian Birchwood | | Included Components | 12-Slot Bamboo Block, 3.5" Parer, 7" Santoku, 8" Chef, 9" Birchwood Handle Steel, 9" Bread, Stainlesss Steel Shears | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions | 42.5 x 24.8 x 14 centimeters | | Item Length | 16.75 Inches | | Item Type Name | Knife Block Set | | Item Weight | 7 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 42.5 x 24.8 x 14 centimeters | | Manufacturer | Miyabi | | Manufacturer Part Number | 34370-007 | | Model Number | 34370-007 | | Number of Items | 7 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | Miyabi Birchwood 7-Piece Knife Block Set | | Style | Traditional | | Style Name | Traditional | | UPC | 035886302108 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade edge:** Plain (9.5 to 12 degrees) - **Blade material:** High Carbon Stainless Steel - **Brand:** MIYABI - **Colour:** sv: black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 42.5 x 24.8 x 14 centimeters ## Images ![Birchwood GS2 7-pc Knife Block Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TxNMVNCGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A sexy looking knife set! *by M***T on 26 February 2018* The best knives thus far we've purchased.
