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 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 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.

Single bevel knives are mainly made out of carbon steel, and can be sharpened extremely sharp, therefore are preferred by professional sushi chefs.

Single bevel knives are mainly made out of carbon steel, and can be sharpened extremely sharp, therefore are preferred by professional sushi chefs.

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 blade has an edge where ripple patterns as beautiful as those of Japanese swords stand out, and long-lasting sharpness and durability achieved by buffing it to the utmost limit.

Before launching his own workshop in 2021, Nakagawa-san trained under Kenichi Shiraki, who was a master craftsman, known for his Honyaki knives. Although Nakagawa-san works primarily with Ginsan, and Blue # 1 \/ 2, he has a wide breadth, given sixteen years of training at Shiraki hamono, he too, possesses the coveted skill of producing Honyaki knives, now under his own name. Nakagawa-san’s blades are characterized by their clearly defined bevels, thinness behind the edge, thin tip, nice balance\/weight in hand, and smooth fit\/finish (chamfered spine, smooth choil). These knives are quite versatile profile wise, with a nice flat spot, and a gentle curve towards the k-tip, making them great for precise detail work!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Kiritsuke is an all purpose knife geared more toward the professional than the home cook though it's a great option for home cooks who prefer a longer knife.

They are a great option for those who prefer to use an up and down, forward and backward chopping motion rather than a rocking motion due to the lack of curvature to the blade. This coupled with the K-tip (aka reverse tanto tip) make it a fantastic slicing knife as well, although the k-tip is much more delicate than a traditional curved tip. Typically, kiritsukes carry a flatter profile and are more suited to push\/pull cutting style, as opposed to the rocking motion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How to Maintain an Iron Clad Knife!\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hEZOgRuZ8VQ\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnife Care (Iron Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 material; A layer of iron on each side protecting a layer of carbon steel at the core, in a process referred to as Sanmai or forge welding.
