This series of ‘uber’ knives are the finest blades made by the world-renowned Ryusen Hamono. The hand-forged knives have the sharpest and most enduring edge of any other knives we offer.
Until now, stainless blades hardened to 66 +/- 1HRC like the Gurenhiryu, e.g. ZDP 189, whilst providing the most enduring razor-sharp edges were notoriously hard to grind, whilst blades of similar hardness made of pure Carbon steel like AS remained easy to sharpen.
SPG STRIX is a new stainless powder steel developed by Takefu Special Steel to address this drawback of super hard stainless steel. The SPG STRIX with its metallic base material features both workability and ease of sharpening like carbon steel, despite its high hardness. SPG STRIX is the best powder steel for knives, as its strong metallic base and hard metal carbides achieve the ideal cutting edges and provide unsurpassed cutting sharpness and ease of grinding.
The hand-finforged 63 Layer Damascus steel of the Gurenhiryu blades is married to a hand-crafted Stabilized Poplar wood, injected with a Polyurethane resin, octagonal handle for ultimate comfort and durability.
This is amongst the highest grade of knives we sell and exemplifies the spirit of our motto: ” Form & Function in Perfect Harmony”. N.B. Due to the very high demand for knives of this caliber made by the Ryusen craftsmen under their own name, the availability of these collaborative masterpieces is extremely limited with a wait period of up to 2 years for out-of-stock models.
Measurements may vary as each knife is individually hand-forged.
The color and grain pattern of the handle may change depending on the nature of the piece of wood used
