SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Henckels Miyabi Birchwood 2-Piece Knife Set combines precision performance with timeless Japanese craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this premium set includes a 6-inch chef’s knife for effortless chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing, along with a 3.5-inch paring knife designed for delicate tasks like peeling, garnishing, and prepping fruits and vegetables.

Each blade undergoes the CRYODUR ice-hardening process, reaching an impressive Rockwell hardness of 63 for excellent edge retention. The scalpel-like sharpness is perfected through the traditional three-step Honbazuke hand-honing process, achieving an incredibly fine cutting angle of 9.5 to 12 degrees for precise and effortless cuts.
Complementing the blades is a striking Karelian (Masur) Birchwood handle, known for its natural beauty and luxurious feel in hand. This rare and prized material, famously used in Fabergé eggs, offers a comfortable and ergonomic grip for extended use.
