The blades generally have a shorter blade height, which makes them great for precise slicing tasks. Their profiles vary quite a bit, from aggressive sweeping k-tips to more traditional yet modern gyuto shapes. The blades are very consistent, as they employ both modern and traditional techniques, each blade is hand sharpened and impeccably sharp out of the box. Every handle has a unique pattern, particularly the Blazen line, which has a distinctly comfortable taper, compared to the Tanganryu line, which is a hybrid western micarta handle, also with a smooth finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFrom the Ryusen Hamono Website...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"— Massive presence and reliable sharpness —\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Super Gold II, made by a top-level manufacturing method achieved by the dramatic improvement of steelmaking technology, is adopted for the blade.

The blades generally have a shorter blade height, which makes them great for precise slicing tasks. Their profiles vary quite a bit, from aggressive sweeping k-tips to more traditional yet modern gyuto shapes. The blades are very consistent, as they employ both modern and traditional techniques, each blade is hand sharpened and impeccably sharp out of the box. Every handle has a unique pattern, particularly the Blazen line, which has a distinctly comfortable taper, compared to the Tanganryu line, which is a hybrid western micarta handle, also with a smooth finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFrom the Ryusen Hamono Website...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"— Massive presence and reliable sharpness —\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Super Gold II, made by a top-level manufacturing method achieved by the dramatic improvement of steelmaking technology, is adopted for the blade.

It's great at slicing smaller proteins and flying through any mid-sized vegetable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ryusen Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50381748207932,"sku":"GH-107","price":1199.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/KnivesonRack-Gage-5488.jpg?v=1763584716"},{"product_id":"ryusen-hamono-gurenhiryu-petty-135-mm","title":"Ryusen Hamono Gurenhiryu Petty 135 mm","description":"\u003ctable style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e265 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPG STRIX\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStabilized Poplar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFerrule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRockwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight Spine to heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth at Spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.63 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBevel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble (50\/50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRyusen Hamono\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRyusen Hamono is another fantastic maker working out of the renowned Takefu Knife Village, based in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

The blades generally have a shorter blade height, which makes them great for precise slicing tasks. Their profiles vary quite a bit, from aggressive sweeping k-tips to more traditional yet modern gyuto shapes. The blades are very consistent, as they employ both modern and traditional techniques, each blade is hand sharpened and impeccably sharp out of the box. Every handle has a unique pattern, particularly the Blazen line, which has a distinctly comfortable taper, compared to the Tanganryu line, which is a hybrid western micarta handle, also with a smooth finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFrom the Ryusen Hamono Website...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\"Blade made of new material \"SPG STRIX®\" that enables the highest level of sharpness.\u003cbr\u003eThe blade is made of new material \"SPG STRIX®\" that embodies traditional Japanese steel forging techniques.

Their family has a 350 year old history of making knives and swords and more recently has expanded into structural steel beams for use in construction.

These knives stand out for their aesthetic appeal, thinness behind the edge, and functionality, given they make their steel in house, and work primarily with high powdered stainless steels. They produce uniquely versatile profiles, ranging from very flat “kiritsuke nakiris” to aggressively curved “kiritsuke gyutos”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Kiritsuke is very similar to the Gyuto but differs in the shape of the tip. They feature what is referred to as a \"reverse tanto\" or \"k-tip\" which gives the shape its unique and distinct aesthetic. They come in both double beveled and single beveled versions and historically have been reserved for use by only the head chef in restaurants - we won't tell anyone if you're not a head chef though! - The single beveled versions are said to be the most versatile shape available (though the Gyuto would give it a run for its money) as they are adept at butchery, slicing and vegetable prep once they are mastered. The double beveled versions are much more user friendly.

During the civil war period at the end of the 15th century to the end of the 16th century, Swords were in high demand and the descendants of Naminohiro-san were busy supplying various Daimo with these blades.

This Gyuto has an excellent grind and transitions gradually from cutting edge to the thin spine; this coupled with it's relatively light weight put's it firmly in the lazer category. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Clad Knife\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PDUU9JchX7I\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis knife is made from 3 layers of steel using a technique called Sanmai (Forge welding).

The Kaijin series features a beautiful kasumi like finish, where the body of the blade has an almost nashiji style finish that is polished to a near mirror polish past the clad line near the edge. It's relatively thin at the polished and rounded spine and becomes very thin behind the edge. This knife is firmly in laser territory and will perform really well when cutting hard and dense ingredients like carrot and sweet potato. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gyuto is an all purpose knife and is the Japanese equivalent of the western chef's knife. While they normally have a flatter profile than a western style chef's knife with more of an upturned tip meant for an improved rocking motion, this one is somewhere in between with a smooth swept belly and a good sized flat spot for chopping. The height of the blade combined with the hybrid profile makes this an incredibly versatile knife. These knives are very thin and have a high grind making them perform very well, it should be noted that this thinness will make this knife more delicate and should be used with caution.

The longer the knife, the more time it will take to grow accustomed to its length, but the more versatile it will be. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53117464543548,"sku":"NSG2K-210G","price":624.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/IMG_5950.jpg?v=1780942988"},{"product_id":"nigara-hamono-sg2-kurouchi-flat-bunka-165-mm-ironwood","title":"Nigara Hamono SG2 Kurouchi Flat Bunka 165 mm Ironwood","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 186.344px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003e165 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003e305 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003eR2(SG2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eHandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003eIronwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 10px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eFerrule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 10px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eRockwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003e63-64\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eHeight Spine to heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003e52 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eWidth at Spine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003e2.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003e223 grams\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 56.6787%;\"\u003eBevel \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 42.9603%;\"\u003eDouble (50\/50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Blacksmith\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNigara Hamono is located in Hirosaki city, Aomori Prefecture, on the west coast of the very northern tip of the main island of Honshu, Japan.
