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.

Beautiful Nakiri
This knife performs as well as it looks. The Damascus cladding and hamon edge are amazing to look at. It makes cooking and preparing things that much more fun and visually appealing. Every time I set any of my Miyabi birchwoods to the side after dicing up an onion it gives me the same feeling of appreciation. It’s art, it’s beauty, and it’s performance all in the same package. What’s not love?
P.S. I oil my handles with mineral oil and then a mineral oil beeswax mixture. It protects and beautifies the handles to an even higher level than when they come out of the box. Love my Miyabis!!

Waited for this one!
I am the proud owner of several other Miyabi Birchwood knives, and purchased the Nakari as soon as it came out!
The Birchwood line is made out of SG2 steel which is quite hard, and keeps the blade edge nice and sharp. When they do need sharpening, its so easy to bring the knife back to the original edge, which makes me feel like I'm always working with a brand new knife!
The Birchwood handle is so stylish and looks great in my new kitchen.
Nakari knives are so useful and can be used for mincing, cutting, slicing and dicing. The shape of the blade is wider than a chefs knife which makes it really easy to scoop items once cut. I can work with the Nakari without experiencing hand fatique, and find myself grabbing it when I need tons of vegetables for soups, stocks and stews.

the WOW factor
101 layers of sheer bliss! This has been a great alternative to my Santoku, although I still use both. Using it mostly for veggies, it is one of the more beautiful knives I have seen or used! The birch handle is both attractive and a comfort. It also cuts through the hardest outer layers like melons and will not disappoint! Well worth the price to own this "wow" knife!

A work of art
The Miyabi birchwood nakiri is a beautiful work of art. It came incredibly sharp out of the box and cuts as good as it looks. Fit and finish is outstanding and while I’ve only had it for one week, my cutting experience with it is fantastic so far. Balance of the knife is right about at the middle point. Handle comfort is great. As is evident from photos this nakiri has a little bit of curve and a slighlty slopes tip rather than a squared off edge. This makes its shape slightly different than most nakiris although for all practical purposes it performs the same. There are many good nakiris that can be found at a lower price point but the birchwood series is clearly for a buyer who is also interested in the aesthetic of the knife. And this is a work of art.

After using my Birchwood Chef all the time, I decided that i wanted another knife in the collection. went back and forth between the Santoku and the Nakiri for days, I am so happy with this choice, nothing wrong with the santoku ( will probably get that next) but the Nakiri cuts so beautifully! the balance and the feel of the handle have made this my new favorite knife. It looks so impressive and I'm amazed that they were able to keep such a sharp, lightweight, knife and maintain the 101 layer Damascus. You need this knife now!

Amazing Workmanship
Incredibly beautiful, impossibly sharp, amazingly practical.
Can a knife be sexy? In this case, it think so. The blade has just the right heft and balance, and the birchwood handle feels great in my hand. I am puzzled as to why Miyabi didn’t seal or protect the raw wood handles, but I see that as an opportunity to personalize my new knife. If you purchase these knives, you are probably an enthusiast, and won’t mind putting in some extra work to protect your investment. It adds to the mystique.
The knife, with the Damascus blade and birchwood handle, is too stunning to put in a block. Mine will be displayed in my kitchen on a magnetic easel for all to see.
The SG2 steel ensures that super-sharp edge will last. I intend to keep my knife for a long time.
It’s all about the metallurgy…

An amazing knife
The Miyabi Birchwood collection is one of my favorites, and I absolutely love using the Nakiri. I had never used this blade style before, but when I handled and chopped with this knife for the first time, it was amazing. It cuts so effortlessly due to the fact that it's constructed with 100 layers of SG2 steel. The handle is smooth and feels great to hold as you chop through produce. It’s a great, sharp, beautiful Japanese knife.

Excellent
Perfect for when you’re cutting a lot of veggies (especially root veggies). As a tall guy (6’1”) with big hands it’s comfortable for cutting for a long period of time when preparing holiday meals or get togethers. I would definitely recommend this for the home chef that’s looking to upgrade their experience in the kitchen. Bonus: the Birchwood looks good against almost any backdrop.
