From the Ryusen Hamono Website...

— Hammered Damascus kitchen knife pursuing glittering beauty and sharpness to an absolute maximum —
Hammered Damascus steel carefully polished by artisans is used. A high-end steel material VG-10 is used as the core (steel), which is sandwiched by 33-layer Damascus steel made by laminating and forging alternate soft and hard stainless steel sheets, achieving long-lasting sharpness. The beautiful hammered surface asperities create an air layer between the food and the blade, making the cut pieces easy to separate from the blade.
In creating the Tangan RYU Premium Series, we studied the grip, the weight balance and other factors while assuming various methods of food preparation based on opinions from professional cooks to make improvements into details. These improvements and careful handwork by artisans finally brought about a kitchen knife that alleviates users’ fatigue or pain even during extended periods of use, providing dramatically improved usability. Try this beautiful high-class model that features excellent sharpness, resistance to rust, durability and practicality.

The Knife

The Tanganryu line features gorgeous black mircata handles with a full welded stainless steel tang, and ferrule where these knives balance. This balance point is more typical of European style cutlery so if you're interested in Japanese steel with a French/German feel these are a great option.  Equally beautiful is the Tsuchime finish and Damascus pattern made from VG-10 stainless steel providing easy maintenance. The fit and finish is as close to perfect as we've seen and no detail has been overlooked, including the packaging for those who appreciate a nice knife box! ;)

The Sujihiki is meant for all things slicing. The long slender blade allows the user to perform nice long strokes and avoid sawing through proteins which leads to perfect, thin slices and no more tearing. Carving roasts, slicing brisket, thinly slicing fish are all within its grasp.

 

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.
      CARE INSTRUCTIONS

      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.

      KNIFE SHAPE

      THE BREAD KNIFE

      Bread knives typically have a long, narrow blade with a serrated edge. The serrations allow it to slice through crusty bread without crushing the soft interior. Additionally, its length allows the user to make clean, even cuts across short and wide loaves alike. These knives are practical for cutting not only bread, but also pastries and even delicate foods like tomatoes.

      STEEL TYPE

      VG-10

      Likely the most widely used Japanese stainless steel, it provides great rust resistance, very good edge retention, and is relatively easy to sharpen. Because of how many companies use this steel to produce their knives, it can sometimes get a bad rep, but we have had nothing but positive experiences using and sharpening it. Knives made from this steel are generally a bit more affordable compared to those made from steels like R2 and ZDP189 while still offering fantastic performance and easy maintenance.

      Chemical Composition:
      C 0.95-1.05% | Cr 14.5-15.5% | Mo 0.9-1.2% | V 0.1-0.3% | Co 1.3-1.5%

      COMPOSITION

      STAINLESS STEEL

      LOW MAINTENANCE

      Stainless steel Japanese knives are made in a process called “Sanmai” or “Forge welding” where two softer layers of stainless steel are laminated around a harder core layer of stainless steel. All three of these layers are rust resistant and therefore are not susceptible to rust or discoloration. The softer outer layers of steel are used to make the knife more durable and flexible while the harder core layer is used to provide better edge retention to the blade.
