About Miyabi Birchwood - Miyabi knives stand out as works of art in the manufactured knife world. Zwilling of Germany, realizing that high-performance Japanese steel was taking over the knife world, did the practical thing and bought themselves two Japanese knife factories in Seki City Japan, a mecca for knife producers. Because of this unique blend, they offer a look and feel that bridges both cultures that are rare among knife makers.

Miyabi really outdid themselves in terms of sexiness with their Birchwood series. A blade forged from SG2 steel is guaranteed to work exceptionally well. What really ties this knife together is the rounded Birchwood handle, made to nest perfectly in your hand. Not just the average Birch, a Karelian (Masur) Birch is used, a highly prized material used for many purposes.

About the Shape - Bread is the cornerstone of civilization, a noble food worthy of its own family of knife. Rather than destroy the beautiful bread that you've just baked or bought, that gorgeous hunk of gluten deserves to be sliced with the finest of serrations. This blade is razor-sharp even by regular knife standards and will have no issue zipping through thousands of hearty loaves.

This knife features classic serrations and is made from super-hard stainless steel, allowing it to remain sharper than most other bread knives.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Reviews

Bread doesn’t stand a chance!!

"Incredible…. if only I could cut slices evenly."

— Simon B. (5/5)

Miyabi Breadknife

"Cuts fresh bread, crusty bread and super soft breads like a dream. I no longer squash fresh bread and cutting perfect slices is a breeze."

— Gene O. (5/5)

Good Knife

"Cuts bread with ease!"

— Susan N. (5/5)

The loaf master

"An amazing and much needed addition to our small collection. Will slice through a fresh loaf of sourdough with a clean cut like it was going through butter. Damascus pattern blade looks elegant and matches the swirly birch handle nicely."

— Mike P. (5/5)

lovely oddball

"This is a beautiful knife and perfect for its intended purpose. I was reluctant to accept that a European manufacturer would do justice to Japanese knife standards but may be wrong in this instance. The Damascus blade looks beautiful and tears through any crust easily. The handle is beautiful and feels great in the hand. Perhaps the cross over of cultures makes very good sense for a bread knife, which isn't very Japanese typically, but is elevated to a new standard in this instance."

— Geoffrey A. (5/5)

Very Beautiful knife

"Had this knife for a few weeks sliced thru begal with ease. Love this knife would highly recommend if you are looking for a new bread knife."

— Perry C. (5/5)

Fabulous steel

"This is a beautiful knife. Wonderful weight, balance, and feel in the hand, and glides through buns, baps, baguettes and bagels."

— Clare G. (5/5)

The bread knife that kills bread knives

"This knife is bad ass. I had an ugly old Henkel bread knife. I used my new knife to cut up the Henkel and recycle it. Should have gotten it way sooner!"

— Ben S. (5/5)

It's the best knife of this style I have ever used.

"It's the best knife of this style I have ever used. That's the review."
