Under the expert guidance of Shosaku Motomiya, Ryujin crafts premium knives renowned for their exceptional sharpness and functionality. Pairing an octagonal Yakisugi (burned) oak handle with an Inox Molybdenum blade results in a lightweight kitchen knife that offers remarkable balance and a comfortable grip. Enhanced with a Tsuchime hammer texture, the blade effortlessly glides through food with precision. Crafted with a blend of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium, Ryujin knives boast a steel composition that ensures stainless properties while providing resistance against chipping and effortless sharpening.
The Bunka knife, reminiscent of the versatile Santoku, excels in a myriad of culinary tasks, from delicate fish slicing to robust vegetable chopping and precise meat carving. Renowned for their exceptional performance, Bunka knives are the preferred choice of discerning chefs, whether amateurs or professionals. Designed to be the dependable "daily driver" in your kitchen, Bunka knives are meticulously crafted to elevate your culinary endeavors to unparalleled heights.
