The shotoh, which means “small sword” in Japanese, is a versatile knife that is slightly larger than a paring knife. It can be used for intricate vegetable work like peeling and creating garnishes as well as for cleaning and trimming meat and fish.

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, 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 a stunning 100-layer flower Damascus pattern. MIYABI’s innovative, CRYODUR® ice-hardening process locks in the blade’s long-lasting sharpness.

The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking and comfortable Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Fabergé egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look.

Reviews & Questions
MIYABI Birchwood SG2 13-cm_5.00-inch 5-inch, Utility Knife - Visual Imperfections brown is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little knife to have I purchased this knife knowing it would be a little long for a pairing knife, but it was on such a good deal I couldn't resist. I have some other Miyabi birchwood knives, and this fits right in with the rest of the set. It's still just the right shape for peeling fruit and vegetables, or it can be used to chop smaller sizes of ingredients. This knife is sharp, durable, and it looks wonderful (no imperfections to my eye).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Miyabi Shotoh You can certainly purchase cheaper knives, but if you want a small knife for for use as a scalpel when trimming veggies, this is the BEST.
