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\u003eFrom the Ryusen Hamono website...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e～ High grade model that pursues brilliant beauty and sharpness ～\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the many series of Ryusen knives, the \"Oukokuryu\" series was created with the aim of being the highest grade.\u003cbr\u003eThe cutting edge is made of ultra-high-grade stainless steel \"Super Gold 2\" made by powder metallurgy, and the sharpness pursued to the limit achieves high sustainability and durability.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, 99 layers of nickel damascus base metal are hammered by skilled craftsmen to create a unique damascus pattern, resulting in a blade with unprecedented depth and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\"Oukokuryu Series\" A top-class model that thoroughly pursues aesthetics and quality and incorporates the spirit of the craftsmen.\u003cbr\u003eThe best quality will deliver even more gorgeous moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe bunka is to the santoku what the kiritsuke is to the gyuto. With a more aggressive tip and flatter profile than most santokus this bunka will excel at chopping and piercing tasks, and also more detailed tip work. The Bunka is an all purpose shape that is very similar to the ever versatile santoku. With its more aggressive K-tip, or reverse tanto tip, these guys can do everything the santoku can, but excel in finer tip work for things like brunoise shallots and garlic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" rel=\"noopener\" 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","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67618792374588,"sku":"OK-303","price":999.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/Japanese-Knife-Ryusen-Hamono-Oukokuryu-KAI-Bunka-170-mm-11.jpg?v=1791571033","url":"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/products\/ryusen-hamono-oukoku-ryu-kai-bunka-175-mm","provider":"SHARP Knife Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
