Product description
This is a Ryusen Hamono nakiri from their “Blazen” line. It measures 165x46 and weighs 149g. The steel is stainless SG2. Very nice looking walnut handle.
NOTE: this knife has very visible scratches on both sides of the blade. Not sure how it got there, but I’m guessing I used the rough part of a sponge while cleaning it. It obviously won’t affect performance and is just an aesthetic blemish. Nonetheless, I am discounting the knife significantly. Other than the scratches, the knife is in excellent condition! Please see pics and video!
Here is a more detailed description copied/pasted from Sharp Knife Shop:
Ryusen Hamono is another fantastic maker working out of the renowned Takefu Knife Village, based in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. They fully embrace the tradition of the region and take great pride in every step of the knife making process. They produce knives with excellent fit & finish, and sharpness that are absolutely beautiful to look at and hold. Winners of numerous design awards and supporters of the Japanese national team at the Bocuse D'or their knives are popular with professional chefs and home cooks alike.
The Blazen line from Ryusen Hamono have the same level of fit and finish you can expect on all of their knives, top notch! Where this line differentiates itself from their other lines is the incredibly thin grinds on these knives. While they lean more towards the delicate side of things, they put performance first and are some of the best cutters in the shop. With a classic Ryusen contoured handle, R2 (SG2) stainless steel, and a gentle tsuchime to the hira of the blades, these understated knives are some of our favorites!
The Super Gold II, made by a top-level manufacturing method achieved by the dramatic improvement of steelmaking technology, is adopted for the blade. This ultra-high-end cutting steel material—excellent in terms of the four major properties of hardness, tenacity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance—was forged using the traditional Echizen Uchihamono forging technique. The blade has an edge where ripple patterns as beautiful as those of Japanese swords stand out, and long-lasting sharpness and durability achieved by buffing it to the utmost limit. The Blazen Ryu is a series for professional use finished by artisans with painstaking attention to detail.
