I love this amazing Bread knife. Have had the Birchwood chef for a few months and thought I'd treat myself to another pretty birchwood shape. First off, the handle is gorgeous! I know it requires a bit more attention because it is really wood and can swell and shrink if its wet too long,But that said, its such a beautiful knife I'd take extra good care of it any way! the longer bread knife blade is new to me and I am now forever a fan! It is lightweight but does the job as well or better than other knives. My hubby thinks the handle is a bit slight for him... Great he will stay away from my knife!

Beautiful Bread Knife
A good bread knife is a game changer! It slices through a fresh loaf of bread with the greatest of ease, not tearing or smashing. Birchwood does this while being exceptionally beautiful too!
The birchwood handle is so unique. It is very comfortable with its traditional Asian D shape plus the birchwood material makes it very slip resistant. I love how the handle will become very personal as it absorbs oils from your hands and develops its own personality.
The 100 layer Damascus blade is made from a very sharp SG2 steel core that not only makes it very durable but incredibly beautiful.
If you want an authentic Japanese knife, end your search with Miyabi. They are made and sold in Japan as the premium knife.

Elegant bread, daily.
Give me our daily bread and I'll slice it so easily. Crusty or soft, no drag. Clean smooth slices.
I fell in love with the Miyabi line the first time I picked one up. Miyabi Birchwood is a beautifully hand-crafted and made of the one of the best steels for kitchen knives. The smooth birchwood handle fits my hand perfectly; and the inset emblem is an elegant touch. But the part I really love is the blade. The exquisite flower patterned blades belie their hardness, their ability to keep an edge, their gleam. What a joy!

Great Look
I purchased this knife because I knew it would look great on my table with all the crusty breads I serve. Come to love it for so many other uses. The SG2 steel and the serrations are great for cutting melons, pineapples, onions and tomatoes. Cutting angel food cakes and sponge cake with this knife prevents crushing. I'm really surprised at all the things I am able to do with this knife and find it to be one of the most useful knives I own.

slicing perfection
This gorgeous serrated knife makes quick work of bread, tomatoes, melons......basically anything with a harder outside and softer interior. The Birchwood handle is unique with its own patterns. The Damascus style blade gives 101 layers of high carbon steel that is super sharp and stays that way. The Japanese craftsmanship is shown in every detail all the way down to the traditional Katana style watermarking by the blades edge.

A fantastic bread knife
I love this knife. The blade is beautiful, with 100 layers of steel, it is an amazing piece of art, and it slices so smoothly without tearing bread, fruits, and meats. The birchwood handle feels so nice in hand, and looks perfect with the blade. Miyabi makes wonder and durable Japanese knives, definitely one of the best bread knives on the market.

I have been slowly adding to my Miyabi Birchwood knife collection and purchased this bread knife a few years ago. A bread knife is one of your essential knives to have in your collection no matter what line you have. The scapel-like blade cuts perfectly though your artisan loaves, as opposed to tearing the bread and leaving all the hanging bits!

It's hard to say which is my favorite part of this knife...the handle or the blade! This bread knife effortlessly cuts through any loaf and feel free to use it to tackle other serrated knife jobs like fajita meat or a cake. The Birchwood handle is spectacular and so functional because of the comfortable slip-free feel in your hand.
