Ryusen Hamono
Ryusen Hamono is another fantastic maker working out of their shop in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. They fully embrace the tradition of the region and take great pride in every step of the knife making process. They produce knives with excellent fit & finish, and sharpness that are absolutely beautiful to look at and hold. Winners of numerous design awards and supporters of the Japanese national team at the Bocuse D'or their knives are popular with professional chefs and home cooks alike.
Ryusen Hamono works primarily with SG2/R2, a high powder stainless steel that is very hard and grinds super thin behind the edge. 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.
From the Ryusen Hamono Website...
The Nakiri is designed to be used as a vegetable chopping knife. It's flat blade profile means that the majority of the blade contacts the cutting board when using an up and down chopping motion which helps prevent those "stuck together-vegetable accordion" things from occurring. They also feature a nice tall blade which provides tons of travel for your guide hand when using that up and down chopping motion. They should not be confused with a meat cleaver and should never be used to cut through bones.
