Light, nimble and sharp. The rounded spine and tapered handle is also a really nice touch that makes holding the knife higher in the hand a joy to use for certain tasks.

The tiny little helper is great for all the detailed work you really want to do directly. Even though it is small enough to work with stuff held directly in the hand, it is still big enough to do some tasks on the cutting board as well. It's a perfect addition to the other great knives of this Series. Thanks to Sharp for the great experience during the decision phase and the excellent service.
Love the knife, it was super sharp out of the box and it's hard to explain just how good it looks! A true work of art in addition to doing it's job perfectly. I also cannot overstate just how good the customer service was; they answered all my questions very quickly, were very polite and friendly, and just generally great to work with. Highly recommend!
Excellent service!
The knife has an incredibly sharp cutting edge that lasts a long time. The SG2 steel is now my favourite. The handle is simple yet its contours is comfortable and locks the grip in. Build quality is worthy of its price point. I think this is a great petty that would complement a gyuto well.
Great edge and feel to the knife.
The packaging is unbelievable and the knife is stunning.
Very superior knife but I wish it was a bit taller; probably won't be buying much until Trump and his tariffs leave the scene
Not my first Ryusen knife- I have owned others. This new Blazen line fit and finish is 10/10. The tapered wa handle is the most comfortable handle I have ever used. The Canadian maple is a nice touch and other attention to detail such as the rounded knife spine is appreciated. The knife it self is one of the lightest petty knives I have used and it cuts like a lazer. I use this in a professional kitchen on a daily basis and don't think I have used a nicer knife (both petty and guyoto are now in my knife roll). Expensive.... Yes but I have no regrets.
Good looking blade with a comfortable handle.
Beautiful knife. It’s sharp and fun to use.
Excellent knife. Maybe I should have went with synthetic handle for durability.
Love the little knjfe it's sharp gets the job done
I'm new to Japanese knives and the sales team has been very helpful answering all of my questions. I've purchased several brands of Japanese knives now and the Ryusen Blazen line is my absolute favorite. I love how it feels in my hand and it is laser sharp. I'm nearly 70 and cooking had become pretty routine. As odd as this may sound, I'm excited about cooking again and I'm preparing many more fresh vegetables and fruits than I was when I was just using my old Western knives.
Perfect paring knife, super sharp and agile.
This knife is so sweet! It's really light and thin which is something I look for in all of my knives, giving it an unbelievable cutting feel. It looks absolutely gorgeous in person, the photo's look good but man is it ever pretty in person.
As depicted in the demo v on line, I also found it well balanced in my hand with no strain or fatigue in my wrist. Have used x3. After care (washing & storing) completed w/o incident. No regrets with purchase
