Our take on the Miyabi Birchwood 34370-007

The Miyabi Birchwood 34370-007 is a four-piece Japanese knife set built around SG-2 powder steel hardened to 63 HRC, clad in 100 layers and finished with a birchwood handle. The set pairs a chef's knife, santoku, bread knife and paring knife with a knife block, kitchen scissors and a sharpener. It suits cooks who want a hard, thin-edged Japanese blade and a matching block in one purchase. Against German-style sets it holds a keener edge but demands more care: hand wash only, no dishwasher, and no chopping through bone or frozen food.

Pros
  • SG-2 powder steel at 63 HRC takes a very keen edge and holds it
  • Thin, hard blade glides through onions and boneless proteins
  • Birchwood handle and layered Damascus cladding look distinctive
  • Includes block, scissors and sharpener, so the set is complete
  • Made in Seki, Japan, a long-standing knife-making region
Cons
  • Hard 63 HRC steel is brittle and chips if twisted or used on bone and frozen food
  • Hand wash only; dishwasher heat and detergent damage the wood handle
  • Needs honing and occasional whetstone sharpening to keep the edge
  • Pull-through sharpeners remove a lot of metal from a hard, thin blade
  • Birchwood handles need drying and occasional oiling

  • Edge durabilityCriticisedSome report small chips after twisting the blade or cutting through bone and frozen items.
  • Handle careMixedThe birchwood handle is praised for comfort and looks but needs hand washing and drying.

Questions and answers

Is this set worth it over a German knife set?
If you want a harder, thinner edge and do mostly slicing and vegetable prep, yes. German knives are tougher and more forgiving of bone and dishwasher use, so pick those if you want low maintenance.
Can these knives go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry them right away. Dishwasher heat and detergent can damage the birchwood handles and the fine edge.
Can I cut bone or frozen food with these knives?
Avoid it. At 63 HRC the steel is hard and thin, so twisting or chopping through bone and frozen food can chip the edge.
What is included in the set?
A chef's knife, santoku, bread knife and paring knife, plus a knife block, kitchen scissors and a knife sharpener.
How should I sharpen them?
Use a whetstone or a controlled-angle sharpener rather than the included pull-through, which removes a lot of metal. Hone lightly and sharpen only when the edge dulls.
Do the handles need special care?
Yes. Dry the birchwood handles after washing and oil them occasionally to keep the wood from drying out.
