Forged with the aggressive profile of a traditional Japanese Bunka and named after the drifting sea ice (Ryuhyo) of the Sea of Okhotsk, this 180mm knife combines striking multi-layer damascus steel with a mirror-polished migaki finish. Centered around an ultra-dense SG2 (R2) micro-carbide powder steel core, it delivers surgical sharpness, 62–63 HRC edge retention, and complete stainless performance.

The profile features a distinctive k-tip (reverse tanto) point, providing exceptional agility for detail work, scoring, and precise vegetable cuts. Ground thin behind the edge with a smooth, architectural spine and choil polish, the blade is fitted with an octagonal Mediterranean olive wood wa-handle showcasing rich golden grain figure and balanced pinch-grip ergonomics.

Key Features:

  • SG2 Micro-Carbide Powder Core Steel: High-density stainless steel delivering surgical edge-holding capability and low-maintenance care.

  • Migaki Damascus Finish: Polished multi-layered cladding featuring high-contrast damascus ripples and a soft mirror sheen.

  • 180mm Bunka K-Tip Profile: Combines the flat cutting edge of a Santoku with a sharp, functional reverse-tanto tip for agile precision work.

  • Octagonal Olive Wood Wa-Handle: Handcrafted from dense Mediterranean olive wood for superior control and timeless architectural warmth.
