It is also relatively thin behind the edge, so it will move through food pretty easily, with very little wedging. The neck of the knife is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable. The handle is a Japanese Cherry octagonal handle, with an inner copper ring for stability over time.  It also comes with a ho wood saya, which features a very useful feature... the pin is attached by a string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope this knife serves you well.  We think it will make a great first Japanese knife, a good workhorse for home cooks and professionals alike, and will provide a very nice balance of cutting performance with ease of use and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* These knives are sharpened prior to shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e AUS-8 Stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Japanese Cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono-Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.09mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.87mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.08mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.72mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.52mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Toginon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28835537106,"sku":"GSH210WGSSWNR","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A5070_06d41b9f-7a34-4fac-865c-686802993675.png?v=1765307918"},{"product_id":"en-ginsanko-240mm-kiritsuke-shaped-wa-gyuto","title":"En 240mm Ginsanko Kiritsuke Wa-Gyuto","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab-description\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe En Ginsanko series is a thin Ginsanko (stainless) knife with stainless cladding.

A long time ago, when I was still cooking professionally, I used knives from Ryusen. Ryusen used to be one of the most popular OEM makers in Japan, as they had an excellent reputation for the knives they produced. More recently, the have stopped all OEM work to focus on their own brand. With this shift in philosophy, they have redoubled efforts to constantly make improvements to their various series (profiles, grinds, fit and finish, forging, heat treating, etc.). This is extremely apparent in their most recent offerings. They have done an excellent job at both researching on their own, as well as eliciting in-depth feedback from professional chefs and customers. Their business philosophy is such that they are open to new and better ways of doing things at every step of the way. When visiting Echizen on one of our Japan trips, we met with Ryusen Hamono, the maker of Blazen knives. Their commitment to excellence in grind quality, fit and finish, and consistency in each line they made was most impressive. Likewise, it was clear they took great care and pride in each step of the knife making process, which they do entirely in-house. From the forging to the heat treating to the product design and packaging, they had smart, well thought out processes in place. We are proud to be Ryusen's sole official dealership for the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bontenunryu series is a medium weight series.  While they aren’t super lightweight in hand, they aren’t heavy… they have a great in-hand feel. The Damascus cladding very elegant, and the fit and finish on the blade is very nice. The western style handles are also extremely well finished. The knives have nice distal taper and are ground quite thin at and behind the edge, with a medium thickness along the spine (by no means thick). The VG-10 core is exceptionally well heat treated, as they use molten salt baths in the process, which we agree is an excellent way to go about heat treating this steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG10 Stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Quince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Damascus Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 251mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.95mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ryusen Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28537317523517,"sku":"BU-503","price":605.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A7694.jpg?v=1704773920"},{"product_id":"gen-240mm-kurouchi-wa-gyuto","title":"Gen 240mm Kurouchi Wa-Gyuto","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab-description\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gen series is a stainless-clad VG10 knife made in Seki, and happens to be a very enjoyable version of VG10 to use and sharpen.

The neck of the knife is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable. The handle is an octagonal Japanese cherry, with an inner copper ring for stability over time.

More recently, they have stopped all OEM work to focus on their own brand. With this shift in philosophy, they have redoubled efforts to constantly make improvements to their various series (profiles, grinds, fit and finish, forging, heat treating, etc.). This is extremely apparent in their most recent offerings. They have done an excellent job at both researching on their own, as well as eliciting in-depth feedback from professional chefs and customers. Their business philosophy is such that they are open to new and better ways of doing things at every step of the way. When visiting Echizen on one of our Japan trips, we met with Ryusen Hamono, the maker of Blazen knives. Their commitment to excellence in grind quality, fit and finish, and consistency in each line they made was most impressive. Likewise, it was clear they took great care and pride in each step of the knife making process, which they do entirely in-house. From the forging to the heat treating to the product design and packaging, they had smart, well thought-out processes in place. We are proud to be Ryusen's sole official dealership for the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fukakuryu wa-gyuto is very thin (not quite a laser, but close) and lightweight with a pointy, kiritsuke-shaped tip. The Damascus cladding is well done and not too loud, slightly muted by the acid etching on the blade. The fit and finish on the blade is very nice, including a chamfered choil. The handle is a modified octagonal maple with a coffin shape from the top down view. The ATS-314 core is exceptionally well heat treated, as they use molten salt baths in the process, which we agree is an excellent way to go about heat treating this steel. I have found it to be easier to sharpen and less brittle than VG-10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife

We designed these from a sketch on paper all the way through to the final product. The steel is AUS-8 at about 58-59 HRC, so they will sharpen easily and have very good toughness (resistance to chipping). They are also relatively thin behind the edge, so they will move through food pretty easily, with very little wedging. The neck of the knives is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable. They come with a Sakura Octagonal handle, both featuring an inner copper ring for stability over time.  They also come with a ho wood sayas, which feature a  pin attached by a string to help prevent loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope these knives serve you well.  We think they will make great first Japanese knives, are good workhorses for home cooks and professionals alike, and will

They are also relatively thin behind the edge, so they will move through food pretty easily, with very little wedging. The neck of the knives is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable.

The term “honyaki” emphasizes the knife's craftsmanship and the purity of its materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is made of White #1, is very finely mirror-polished, comes with a very handsome ebony octagonal handle and a ho wood saya, and the hamon depicts Mount Fuji with a sun on one side of the blade and a crescent moon on the other side.  The blacksmith is Yoshikazu Ikeda and the sharpener is Igarashi-san, a very highly regarded sharpener in Sakai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process of making a honyaki knife involves heating the steel to a glowing, cherry red temperature, forging it into shape, differentially heat-treating the blade by placing a layer of insulating clay on the spine, and quenching it in either oil or water. Water-quenched blades are much more difficult to work with, resulting in a higher rate of loss. This type of knife is known for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and craftsmanship. However, honyaki knives require more care and attention during use compared to sanmai knives, as they are exceptionally hard and brittle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to their intricate and demanding production process, honyaki knives are often considered the pinnacle of knife craftsmanship and are highly prized by chefs and culinary enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pursuit of mastering the honyaki blacksmithing technique is one that can take a craftsman years. Within that time there is a huge number of lost kiji (rough forged blanks) that shatter or crack during the heat treatment process. I remember touring the workshop of a really talented craftsman. Tucked away in a corner of the space was a box filled with dozens of kiji, possibly a hundred, and they were all cracked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs these knives are carbon steel, they will need to be cared for as such.

They are also relatively thin behind the edge, so they will move through food pretty easily, with very little wedging. The neck of the knives is a bit longer, helping to make the pinch grip a bit more comfortable.
