The Yuzo Ryuho Japanese chef knife has a long, slender 24cm blade, ideal for making smooth, precise cuts. Its shape is inspired by the Western chef's knife, while retaining the finesse and balance characteristic of Japanese blades.
The name Ryuho, which translates as "Dragon's Treasure", evokes a carefully crafted blade designed to offer excellent cutting comfort. This name reflects the attention paid to the design of this series.
With its 24cm length, this gyuto offers a generous cutting surface that facilitates continuous movements during food preparation. It is ideal for slicing vegetables, meat and fish with precision.
The blade's damascus pattern is inspired by drifting ice, creating an elegant visual relief that changes with the light. This aesthetic is combined with a technical construction designed to guarantee a clean, even cut.
The blade features a damascened structure composed of alternating layers of stainless steel. This construction surrounds the central core to protect it while generating a characteristic natural pattern.
At the heart of the blade is a Japanese SG2 powder steel, renowned for its fine grain and high cutting performance. With a carbon content of around 1.3%, this alloy achieves a hardness of around 63 HRC on the Rockwell scale.
This hardness ensures that the blade retains a long-lasting cutting edge, capable of maintaining high precision during everyday cutting. Sharpening can be carried out with a Japanese stone when maintenance becomes necessary.
The layers of stainless steel surrounding the core also provide extra protection while creating a deep, harmonious damascus pattern. Mirror polishing enhances these undulations, reminiscent of drifting ice.
Theflat cutting edge contributes to the blade's efficiency: it allows clean penetration of food and favors an even cut, suitable for a wide range of culinary preparations.
The handle is made from olive wood, a species appreciated for its warm nuances and pronounced natural grain. Each handle has a slightly different grain, giving each knife a unique character. Olive wood is also highly resistant to humidity, an attractive quality for use in the kitchen.
The handle has a traditional octagonal shape, designed to improve stability when cutting. This geometry offers good gesture control and is suitable for both right- and left-handed users.
The combination of damascus blade and olive wood creates an elegant visual contrast, while maintaining a comfortable balance during use.
To preserve the performance of your Ryuho damascus knife, use a wooden or synthetic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as glass or stone can damage the cutting edge.
After each use, wash the blade by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap. Dry immediately with a clean cloth to avoid any traces of moisture. Do not use in the dishwasher, or soak in the sink for long periods. To maintain optimum sharpness, regular sharpening with a Japanese stone is recommended.
Since olive wood handles are a natural material, you may occasionally apply an oil suitable for wood to nourish the material and preserve its appearance.
The Ryuho series is produced in Japan's Seki region, a town renowned for its blade-making expertise. For centuries, this region has been developing advanced heat treatment and sharpening techniques to design high-performance cutting tools. This expertise was first illustrated in the manufacture of Japanese swords, before gradually extending to kitchen knives.
Today, local manufacturers combine this technical heritage with modern materials such as SG2 powdered steel, to produce blades adapted to today's culinary demands. This continuity between tradition and innovation contributes to making Seki one of the major centers of Japanese cutlery.
