Ryusen Fukakuryu Kai Paring Knife 135 mm – SG2 Damascus

Ryusen Hamono Fukakuryu Kai Paring Knife 135 mm – precision for the finest details

The paring knife from the Fukakuryu Kai series is made for tasks where precision and control are paramount. With its compact length of 135 mm, the knife is ideal for peeling, trimming, and detailed work with fruit, vegetables, and smaller ingredients. It is a knife that feels like a natural extension of the hand.

SG2 Damascus steel with extreme sharpness

The blade has a core of SG2 powder steel, renowned for its very fine grain structure and ability to achieve and maintain an extreme edge. Surrounding the core are multiple layers of Damascus steel, which provide strength, stability, and a beautiful, flowing pattern. The combination ensures clean cuts and minimal resistance, even during precision work.

Compact blade with full control

The short, slender blade offers maximum control when working in close contact with the ingredient. The knife is well suited to everything from peeling and slicing to the fine trimming of vegetables and garnishes. The balance point has been carefully calibrated so that the knife sits steadily and securely in the hand.

Elegant handle in birchwood

The handle is crafted from birchwood and shaped with a focus on ergonomics and balance. The natural grain of the wood provides a comfortable and secure grip, whilst also highlighting the knife's exclusive, handcrafted character. The interplay between blade and handle makes the knife light and precise to use – even over longer periods.

Japanese craftsmanship from Echizen

Ryusen Hamono is based in Echizen, a region renowned for centuries of tradition in Japanese knife making. Here, classic forging techniques are combined with modern materials and finishing. Each knife is crafted with great care and respect for the trade, which is clearly evident in both its function and aesthetics.

A natural part of the Fukakuryu Kai series

This paring knife is the perfect complement to the larger knives in the series. Together they cover the full spectrum – from coarser slicing to the most detailed tasks – providing a consistent, professional character in the kitchen.
