Birchwood SG2 6-Inch Utility Knife

This utility knife is a workhorse knife in the kitchen for precision work in-hand or on the cutting board. This versatile knife is ideal for cutting up fruit, mincing garlic and thinly slicing meat or poultry.

How it's made: The blade core made of MicroCarbide MC63 powder steel is surrounded by 100 layers of two different types of steel with different levels of hardness. The CRYODUR® blade is hardened using a specially developed ice-hardening process at -196°C that guarantees extreme hardness of 63 Rockwell and a lasting sharp blade. A special blade treatment alters the surface structure of each layer, resulting in its individual floral damascus pattern. A traditional Japanese Honbazuke honing gives every blade its incomparable sharpness.

Additional features: Each handle made of top-quality Karelian (Masur) birch is also unique, with the structure of the wood handle reflected through the interplay of lines and stripes. The warmth of the natural wood contrasts nicely with the steel blade. A mosaic pin finishes off the sophisticated look.

Sizing information: 12"L x 3"W x 1"H; 0.4 lb.; 6" blade length.
