Zwilling Miyabi Birchwood SG2 7pc Block Set Damascus

The Miyabi Birchwood SG2 block set puts the core of a serious kitchen in one place. You get the three knives that handle almost every prep job, a 3.5" paring, a 7" santoku and an 8" chef's knife, plus a 9" bread knife for crusty loaves, stainless kitchen shears and a 9" sharpening steel to keep the edges up between sharpenings. Everything lives in a 12-slot bamboo block, so there's room to add to the collection.

Each blade has an SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core, ice-hardened to 63 HRC, so it takes a very fine edge and holds it a long time. The core is wrapped in 100 layers of flower Damascus, and the edge is hand-finished with the three-step Honbazuke method at 9.5° to 12°. The Karelian birch handles make every piece a little different. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
