The Blade:
The blade of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is hand-forged from one piece of steel. In over 40 further manual operations by hand, it becomes a unique piece of Solingen knifemaking art. The handle scales of finely textured, velvety olive wood should not be put in the dishwasher. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened, and of course, hand-sharpened.
The Handle:
The handle scales of the Alpha Olive series are made of selected olive wood up to 500 years old. The wood of the olive is tough and weatherproof. This makes it the ideal material for knife handles. The strong grain and the distinctive light-dark effects of the olive wood make each knife an elegant one-of-a-kind.
Sturdy steel butter knife. I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of steel used which makes the bend function as desired which is to srape of the butter strings through the holes. Well thought and designed by not compromising on quality at all. Full marks! Japanese know it well and their craftsmanship is at another level.
UN-RYU Santoku Knife 170mm – VG10 Japanese Stainless Steel
I have quality Henkel knives, but this knife has a sharpness beyond what these knives can do. It's an important tool in my knife kit. I'm hopeful that it will be durable and have lasting power. So far, I am enjoying the experience of using it!
I’m a salmon and trout angler. I was happy with using this tool to pin bone pink salmon as it was able to pull two out at a time. I tried it on a fresh chinook last night though and wasn’t very impressed, I think needle nose pliers would have been more effective.
Received my carbon stainless steel wok extremely fast , customer support Natalie was extremely helpful with my questions and even provided resources to help me. 10/10, amazing site I can't believe I was hesitant at first. Will definitely be buying again from here, much better than big box stores - extremely high quality product.
The Hayami 130 arrived promptly and very sharp, one of the sharpest knives I've ever received from a vendor. It's convenient to have it razor sharp out of the box. I use petty knives a lot, just above my use of the cleaver. This knife is beautiful and extremely functional. The next petty knife will be about 100mm.
