Ryusen Gurenhiryu Kai Knife Set

Ryusen Hamono was founded in 1948 as a knife sharpening company. They worked with companies like Takefu Special Steel as early as the 1970s to develop high-quality knives made with stainless steel, at a time when most other knife makers were struggling to produce decent stainless steel knives. Now, they have expanded their collection of knives not only having sharpness and longevity in mind but with a sleek modern design.

The Gurenhiryu (Crimson Dragon) series is the pinnacle of high-end Japanese knife design. The blade is forged from super-hard SPG STRIX stainless steel, known for superior edge-retention and laser-sharpness. The stabilized red poplar handle is the crown jewel on the 63-layer damascus masterpiece.
