Birchwood Santoku 7" Knife
About the original
The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 Santoku is a handcrafted 7-inch Japanese chef's knife made in Seki City, Japan, the historic center of Japanese blade making since the 13th century. The blade is built around a micro-carbide SG2 powder-steel core clad in a 101-layer flower Damascus pattern, hardened to 63 HRC through Miyabi's CRYODUR ice-hardening process and finished with a hand-honed Honbazuke edge. The handle is stabilized Karelian birch, a naturally figured wood historically used on Faberge eggs. Miyabi is owned by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, the German cutlery group founded in Solingen in 1731. The Supreme version carries a box logo etched onto the blade.
About Miyabi (Zwilling)
Miyabi is a Japanese kitchen knife brand owned by Germany's Zwilling J.A. Henckels, producing handmade blades in Seki, a blade-making center with a 700-year swordsmithing history. Zwilling acquired two Seki factories to build the line, which combines German cutlery manufacturing with Japanese geometry. The Birchwood SG2 series uses a 101-layer Damascus blade with an SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core, CRYODUR ice-hardened to Rockwell 63, finished by the traditional three-step Honbazuke hand-honing process, with Karelian birch handles. Edge angles run from 9.5 to 12 degrees. Supreme's collaboration put a box logo on this specific Birchwood SG2 knife.
