After 50 years, Anryu has given over his business to his trusted apprentice, Ikeda san, who now manages Anryu Hamono and does the lion's share of the work.
This is about the smallest size that gyuto style knives are made. In fact it could be considered part petty and part santoku, not just in dimensions but in abilities and feel. People who like a shorter blade will be intrigued by this knife as it serves so many purposes and is so adroit at many cutting and slicing tasks. It is also a great knife for use in restricted spaces or on small boards.Workshop: Anryu Hamono

I've had this blade for a few months now, holds it's edge very well, and has very little flex in the blade, and at this price point everyone should buy one. I mostly use it on things I'm hesitant to put my takeda on, this is quickly becoming my go-to take down knife
