Led by the skilled Shosaku Motomiya, Ryujin excels in producing top-tier knives known for their sharpness and functionality. The Naguri series stands out with handles inspired by the traditional Japanese woodcutting technique, Naguri, where chisels create a unique stippling pattern. These meticulously sculpted 18-8 stainless steel handles complement the Inox Molybdenum blade, creating a lightweight, well-balanced kitchen tool with a natural, comfortable grip. The blend of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium in the blade’s composition ensures superior stainless properties, chip resistance, and ease of sharpening. Drawing inspiration from the classic Japanese Usuba, this knife features a thin spine, squared tip, and wide, straight profile, perfect for precise, effortless cuts.
