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 to Rockwell 63 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

Behold the simple way to maintain the razor-sharp precision of your Miyabi and other knives. This easy-to-use honing rod restores maximum sharpness within seconds. It is made from ultra-durable tungsten carbide, which lasts longer than other steels while ensuring the correct hardness for most knives. Even the best knife will lose its initial sharpness during the course of time. By using sharpening steel after each use, you can keep the blade’s edge aligned, resulting in a sharper, safer knife.

Recently purchased my first Japanese knife, and was told that it needs to be honed on a Japanese honing steel. The German steel that I have is not hard enough for the harder Japanese steels. Very pleased with this purchase. Great for Japanese and can also use for my German knives. Love the 10" length. Much easier to use than the 8" German steel that came with my block set. Twin2.
