~ Something beyond the sharpness, It's a beauty wrapped in a sense of elation.

A beautiful hammered blade with a glossy finish polished by the hands of the craftsmen.
The glossy handle with a scale pattern is inspired by the legendary four divine beast "Seiryu - Blue Dragon" that brings success, career advancement, and financial fortune.
This is the birth of the "Souryurin" series, which is filled with the details of RYUSEN JAPAN's pursuit of "sharpness" and "beauty".

A new material "VG10W" is used for the cutting edge. Durability and sharpness have been improved by adding tungsten (W) to high-grade cutlery steel VG10.
The uneven hammered blade creates a layer of air between the blade and the food material, resulting in a better separation.
In addition, the sharp tipped blade is suitable for detail work as the tip of the blade enters smoothly.

The handle with the scale pattern, which is the biggest feature of Souryu scale, is a resin handle with a special blend based on polyurethane. RYUSEN JAPAN's characteristic "Re:Born handle" is well-balanced and fits well in the hand, and the material with excellent water resistance is smooth and comfortable to hold. The spacers on the top and bottom of the handle serve to adjust the weight balance and also presents a design accent that enhances the sense of luxury. To deliver an attractive dish that awaits beyond sharpness. Please enjoy the "Soryurin" series, which aims to achieve even higher levels of beauty and functionality.

The Knife

Knife Care (Stainless Steel)

• Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
• NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
• Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
• Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.

Follow these care recommendations for your Japanese knives to protect the edge and keep them sharp as long as possible: 

• Do not put them in the dishwasher or soak them in water, as this may ruin the wooden handle and rust the blade. 
• Wash with soapy water and wipe dry after each use, especially after handling acidic ingredients, to minimize the risk of rusting.  
• Don’t cut through anything you wouldn’t bite through, like frozen foods, hard candies, or bones, as this may chip or damage the knife. 
• Don't torque the blade, as this may chip the knife. Use it in a forward and back, up and down motion without twisting.
• Don’t scrape the cutting board with your knife, as this will cause it to dull quickly and ruin your edge. 
• Use an end grain wooden cutting board or hi-soft rubberized cutting board if you can to protect your edge. Glass, bamboo, and granite are terrible materials for cutting boards, and plastic is only slightly better.
