The Bonten Unryu series from Ryusen

The updated classic series from Ryusen. These knives are made of razor-sharp VG-10 steel. This hard steel stays sharp for a very long time. To protect the VG-10, 64 layers of softer stainless steel have been forged over it. These layers are then exposed and form a beautiful line pattern on the blade. The blade has then been etched giving it a dark color.

Japanese Quince handle

The Octagon handle is made of Quince with a black pakka wood head and a ring of blue polyurethane resin in between.

Hand-ground

The knives are hand sharpened by Ryusen's master sharpeners. In the process, each knife is carefully checked so that they are guaranteed razor-sharp out of the box.

Ryusen Hamono

Ryuzen-Hamono manufactures knives in the Echizen region of Japan. There the knowledge gained over the past 700 years is combined with modern technology. All knives at Ryusen are hand-forged by artisans. This makes each knife a masterpiece.
