To produce our new Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan "R-2 Damascus Wa Series" we have worked closely with Master Forge-Smith Master Yamamoto in Takefu City; a place famous for producing traditional hammer forged knives (Echizen Uchi-Hamono).
Here are Master Yamamoto’s impressive traditionally forged knives, which are made using “R-2” Powdered Metallurgy High Speed Tool Steel; a well-proven steel that provides outstanding cutting performance, excellent edge retention and good rust resistance (Easy to maintain).
We requested that Master Yamamoto produce these knives using his fine hammer forging process and R-2 Powdered metallurgy steel. His traditional hammer forging technique makes the micro-structure of the steel finer, allowing the production of a very stable cutting edge that provides superior edge retention and cutting performance. In fact, the edge retention of Master Yamamoto’s R-2 blades is comparable to other famous powdered steels, such as ZDP-189 and Cowry-X.
The sparkling, silver-white Nickel Steel and the dark gray Stainless Steel layers of the patterned Damascus blade elegantly matches the Octagonal Red-Sandal Wood Handle with Black Pakka Wood Ferrule.
Whether you are looking for a low-maintenance stainless steel knife with excellent cutting performance, or looking for a unique Damascus knife with Traditional Japanese styling, we are proud to introduce and thoroughly recommend these traditionally forged knives from Master Yamamoto.
The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is true multi-purpose knife.
Out of all of the chef knives I have used this is the best one by far super easy to sharpen beautiful pattern very comfortable in hand 100% recommend
Super fast shipping to Spain. This Damascus blade is super-stealth - all greys and muted silver. Very striking. I love R2 powdered steel, and this has the usual Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan build quality. This looks like a cross between a Gyuto and a Santoku, so I think it will be a versatile kitchen tool.
Great piece, exactly what I hoped for. Edge is spooky sharp. Shipping and processing was fast and seamless.
I love this knife it's crazy sharp super light and just a beautiful design will be purchasing another in the future
Very nice product made of excellent quality of steel and handle. Blade is beautiful. It cuts like a laser. I have to get used to japanese style knive because I had western style only to this time (ergonomic is different). I'd rather would recommend this product.
