“Among the four celestial beings of Eastern astrology, known as guardians representing the four elements, the ‘Azure Dragon of the Sea’ holds its place. These four legendary creatures include the Phoenix, White Tiger, Genbu, and the Dragon, each corresponding to the elements of fire, metal, water, and wood in chronological order. In Japanese, this dragon is known as Seiryu, denoting its mastery over the element of wood.
The blade of this remarkable creation has been expertly forged and polished to achieve a brilliant finish. Its glossy handle showcases a scale design inspired by the mythical ‘Seiryu – Blue Dragon,’ one of the four divine creatures believed to bestow success, career advancement, and financial prosperity. This introduction marks the inception of the ‘Souryurin’ series, narrating RYUSEN JAPAN’s relentless pursuit of ‘sharpness’ and ‘beauty’ in exquisite detail.
For its cutting edge, a novel material named ‘VG10W’ is employed. This high-grade cutlery steel, VG10, is enhanced with tungsten (W) to enhance both its durability and sharpness. The unevenly hammered blade creates a layer of air between the blade and the food, improving its cutting precision.
Furthermore, the sharp tip of the blade lends itself well to intricate tasks. The distinctive ‘Souryu scale’ handle, featuring a scale pattern, is crafted from a specialized resin blend based on polyurethane. RYUSEN JAPAN’s unique ‘Reborn handle’ is not only well-balanced but also comfortable to hold, thanks to its smooth, highly water-resistant material.
Please Note: The handle colour varies from light to quite deep ochre.
The classic slicer. Long and thin, this is the best shape for the preparation of any flesh (meat or fish – cooked or raw) without bones. The slim profile presents a smaller are of contact with the flesh and thus reduces the strength of the vacuum between the blade and the food resulting in a smoother and easier cut. Function – Slicing and carving of meat and fish without bones. Normal length – 240mm to 300mm (a few smaller 180mm and longer 330mm are available) Tip: Whilst the 240mm or the 270mm lengths are the most popular select the longest length you are comfortable with. The longer the blade, the lesser the pressure required to cut the food and thus increase the ability to cut thinner slices. As this is one knife that is often taken to the table for carving in front of the diners, apart from the functionality, aesthetics should be an important consideration.
