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. Anryu's Hammered lineup is characterized by its unique hand-hammered aesthetic and outstanding fit and finish, which complement its first-rate grind and world-class Aogami #2 steel. This nakiri is no exception. While the core steel is reactive, it is wrapped in stainless steel for easy maintenance. Like all handmade knives, each of these knives will vary somewhat from one another.

5 review(s) WRITE A REVIEW (Reviews are subject to approval) Excellent Knife Nice addition to the toolkitPosted By: SFSteve
Received this knife mere days ago and my initial impressions are thoroughly positive. I dithered over the purchase for quite awhile but, though it's early days yet, I'm glad I took the plunge. Rustic in appearance (I regard the unique hammer marks pattern like a fingerprint that sets my knife apart from all others), the blade arrived astonishingly sharp. It almost melts through food, and I confess to whittling my way through several sheets of paper just for the fun of it. Dicing up the first brunoise was a kick, too. Fit and finish on the oval handle is very nicely done. Aside from cosmetics -- and I get that this finish is not to everyone's taste -- I'm not sure what more I could have expected in terms of performance had I opted for a costlier selection. Looking forward to incorporating this knife as an integral member of the kitchen arsenal.
