Ryusen Hamono Fukakuryu Kai Chef's Knife 210 mm – the kitchen's most important tool
The chef's knife from the Fukakuryu Kai series has been developed as the central tool in the kitchen. With its classic length of 210 mm, it is suited to the vast majority of tasks – from breaking down meat and fish to slicing, chopping and preparing vegetables. It is a knife that unites power, precision and balance in one cohesive whole.
SG2 Damascus steel with uncompromising cutting performance
The blade features a core of SG2 powder steel, renowned for its exceptionally high hardness and fine grain structure. This produces an extremely sharp edge that retains its sharpness significantly longer than traditional steel types. The core is surrounded by multiple layers of Damascus steel, adding both strength and stability as well as a beautiful, vivid pattern. The result is clean cuts, low friction and a controlled cutting experience across all ingredients.
Optimal length and classic chef's knife profile
At 210 mm, this chef's knife strikes the ideal compromise between control and efficiency. The gently curved edge makes the knife well suited to both rocking motions and straighter cuts, whilst the height of the blade provides excellent knuckle clearance and safety when working on the chopping board.
Elegant birchwood handle
The handle is crafted from birchwood and designed with a focus on ergonomics and balance. The natural grain of the wood provides a secure and comfortable grip, whilst also emphasising the knife's exclusive and handcrafted character. The interplay between the long blade and the lightweight handle creates a harmonious balance that makes the knife comfortable to use even over extended periods.
Japanese craftsmanship from Echizen
Ryusen Hamono is based in Echizen, one of Japan's most storied regions for knife-making. Here, centuries-old forging techniques are carried forward and combined with modern materials, precise heat treatment and uncompromising quality control. Every knife is made with great care and attention to detail.
