Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo Black SG2 Damascus Kiritsuke Gyuto

The Ryuhyo Black (流氷, “Flowing Ice”) has a striking damascus finish with a black surface coating. Its thin grind delivers a sharp, smooth, and balanced cutting experience.

Forged from premium SG2 powdered stainless steel, the Ryuhyo offers exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and rust protection - making it an excellent choice for both professionals and discerning home cooks. The Ryuhyo also features a subtle sabre-style V-grind. This allows for smoother food release, less drag, and a sleeker overall profile that maintains the fluid Damascus pattern uninterrupted across the blade.
