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 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe petty knife is the Japanese equivalent of a utility knife.
