Ryusen Hamono Souryurin Nakiri 165 mm

~ 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 Nakiri is designed for vegetable chopping and more specifically for an up and down chopping motion. The tall blade provides a great amount of travel for the user's guide fingers, the flat profile means no stuck together pieces when using that up and down motion and the flat spine can be used to scrape things across your cutting board without damaging the edge.
