Miyabi Birchwood 7-Piece Block Set

Authentically Japanese in design, each knife features 101 layers of forged steel to create a delicate Damascus pattern. Each blade in the Miyabi Birchwood collection is hand-honed using a traditional three-step honbazuke process. The genuine hamon edge—the visible line where flexible outer layers and incredibly hard core layer meet—is reminiscent of legendary Japanese swords.
