Miyabi Birchwood SG2 4.5 Inch Paring Knife

The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 4.5-Inch Paring Knife is a finely crafted precision blade designed for intricate kitchen tasks. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife embodies centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition paired with advanced steel technology.

At its core is SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, valued for exceptional hardness and superior edge retention. The blade is protected by a breathtaking 101-layer flower Damascus pattern that enhances durability while creating remarkable visual depth. Through MIYABI’s CRYODUR ice-hardening process, the blade is hardened to approximately Rockwell 63, ensuring long-lasting sharpness.

The 4.5-inch blade offers outstanding control for peeling, trimming, slicing fruits, segmenting citrus, and handling delicate prep work. Hand-honed using the traditional three-step Honbazuke process, it achieves a scalpel-like edge with authentic Japanese geometry.

Completing the knife is the exquisite Karelian (Masur) Birch handle — a rare and prized wood also used in Fabergé eggs. Ergonomically shaped with a rounded spine and heel, it provides refined comfort, balance, and heirloom-level beauty.

Compact, precise, and beautifully crafted, the Miyabi Birchwood 4.5-Inch Paring Knife transforms detailed prep into an art form.
