About the Miyabi Birchwood SG2 7-Piece Knife Block Set

A seven-piece Japanese knife set built around Miyabi's SG2 micro-carbide steel, hardened to Rockwell 63 and clad in 101 layers of flower Damascus. The chef's 8-inch and paring 3.5-inch knives have D-shaped Karelian birch handles and a katana edge, and the set adds kitchen shears, a honing steel and a 12-slot block. It suits cooks who want two very hard, very sharp blades and a block with room to grow, and it asks more care than a German set. Owners rate it 3.7 out of 5 from 82 ratings, praising sharpness and looks while flagging chipping, handle upkeep and the sparse set contents.

What reviewers say

  • 3.7 / 582 ratings

Ratings average 3.7 out of 5 from 82 buyers, which is low for a set at this price. Owners praise the sharpness and looks of the blades but raise concerns about chipping, handle care and what the set actually includes.

What people mention
  • Edge sharpnessPraisedOwners say the SG2 blades arrive very sharp and keep their edge well with light honing.
  • Blade chippingCriticisedSome buyers report chips after cutting bones or frozen food, which is expected at Rockwell 63.
  • Handle careMixedThe birch handles feel good in hand but need drying and occasional oiling to stay in shape.
  • Set contentsCriticisedBuyers note the 12-slot block arrives mostly empty, with only a chef's knife and paring knife.
  • Damascus finishPraisedThe layered flower pattern is the most-praised detail, with each blade looking slightly different.

Questions and answers

Can these knives go in the dishwasher?
No. Miyabi specifies handwash only; heat and detergent can damage the birch handle and the Damascus cladding.
What knives are actually in the set?
An 8-inch chef's knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, kitchen shears and a honing steel, plus a 12-slot block. The other slots are for knives you add later.
Is SG2 steel too hard for everyday use?
At Rockwell 63 it is harder and more brittle than German steel. It is fine for normal prep but should not cut bone, frozen food or squash.
Is the D-shaped handle right- or left-handed?
The D-shape is molded for right-handed grips. Left-handed users usually find the handle less comfortable.
How does this compare to the Miyabi Kaizen II set?
Kaizen II uses FC61 steel at about Rockwell 61, which is tougher but holds an edge less long. Birchwood SG2 offers the Damascus finish and birch handle in exchange for more careful handling.
Is this set worth it over a cheaper Miyabi line?
You pay for SG2 steel at Rockwell 63, the 101-layer Damascus cladding and the birch handle. If you want a tougher, easier-care blade, the FC61 lines suit you better; if you want edge retention and looks, this is the step up.
