After 50 years, Anryu san has retired and given over his business to his longtime, trusted apprentice, Ikeda san. Anryu is 80 now and only works part-time forging knives for the business. The knife is constructed of a Hitachi Aogami #2 carbon steel core hardened to 63 HRC wrapped in stainless steel for easy maintenance. The core steel will take an extremely keen edge with ease and hold that edge for a long time. Mr. Anryu's Hammered line has built a reputation among Japanese knife enthusiasts for its high-performance grinds and rustic yet refined aesthetics. As this is a handmade knife, make allowances for variations in dimensions between knives. Please note that the carbon steel core of this knife will patina with normal use and can rust if neglected.

A thin, relatively light, excellent cutter that nonetheless still feels substantial on the board. The lower blade surface is smooth, and moves easily through vegetables, while higher up the hammered texturing helps with food release and looks fantastic. The finish is excellent, resulting in an extremely comfortable, user-friendly knife. And then there's the legendary Anryu mystique to complete the package.
