Ryusen Hamono Fukakuryu Kai Santoku Knife 175 mm – Versatility at the Absolute Highest Level

The Santoku knife from the Fukakuryu Kai series has been crafted as the ultimate all-round knife for the kitchen. With its well-balanced length of 175 mm and characteristic Japanese profile, it is equally suited to meat, fish and vegetables. It is a knife that brings several functions together in one precise and uncompromising tool.

SG2 Damascus Steel with Superior 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. Surrounding the core are multiple layers of Damascus steel, adding strength, stability and a beautiful, organic pattern to the blade. The result is clean cuts, minimal resistance and outstanding control with every movement.

Santoku Shape for Meat, Fish and Vegetables

Santoku means "three virtues" and refers to the knife's versatility. The wide blade provides excellent knuckle clearance and makes the knife ideal for chopping, slicing and precision work. The 175 mm length also offers an optimal balance between control and efficiency, making it the perfect primary working knife in the kitchen.

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 the light weight contributes to a harmonious balance between blade and handle. The result is a knife that feels natural in the hand, even during extended periods of use.

Japanese Craftsmanship from Echizen

Ryusen Hamono is based in Echizen, a region renowned for centuries of tradition in Japanese knife-making. Here, classical forging techniques are combined with modern materials and precise heat treatment. Every knife is produced with great care and meticulous attention to detail, which is clearly reflected in its finish, balance and performance.

A Core Knife in the Fukakuryu Kai Series

This Santoku knife is an obvious choice for both professional chefs and dedicated enthusiasts who want one knife for the majority of tasks. Together with the other knives in the series, it forms a complete and uncompromising range in which function, aesthetics and quality come together at the highest level.
