Named after the drifting sea ice (Ryuhyo) of the Sea of Okhotsk, the Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo fuses high-contrast damascus steel with a mirror-polished migaki finish. Forged with a high-performance SG2 (R2) micro-carbide powder steel core, this 240mm Gyuto delivers exceptional edge retention, effortless cutting geometry, and complete stain resistance.

The blade features flowing multi-layer damascus cladding hand-ground to expose a crisp, razor-sharp cutting edge. Paired with an octagonal Mediterranean olive wood wa-handle featuring rich natural grain contrast, this 240mm profile provides the extra blade length favored by professionals and serious home cooks for long, clean, single-stroke slicing.

Key Features:

  • SG2/R2 Micro-Carbide Steel Core: Holds a surgical edge at 62–63 HRC while remaining low-maintenance and stainless.

  • Migaki Damascus Finish: High-contrast layered cladding polished to a soft satin-mirror sheen.

  • 240mm Versatile Length: Ideal for processing large proteins, prepping vegetables, and sweeping cutting motions.

  • Ergonomic Olive Wood Handle: Lightweight octagonal profile crafted from dense Mediterranean olive wood for superior balance.
