[General Features] The TENRYU series feature beautiful Dragon engraved Damascus blades with a core of Blue Paper (Aogami or Aoko) No.2 Steel, which is made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, specifically developed for tools and knives. This material has highest wear resistance and toughness because of special hardness (hardness of 61-62 HRC). Very good choice for high end Japanese kitchen knives.
The beautiful traditional DRAGON pictures on the blade are carefully hand-engraved by the skilled craftsperson who is one of the few art-engraviners with high-quality in Japan.
Speaking to the Red Ebony Wood handle, the Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand. The buffalo tsuba equipped to the both top and bottom of handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally. (Please be noted that the buffalo tsuba (guard) is a natural product that may possibly be different from the image in color.)
We recommend this high-class kitchen knife series for professional chefs to enhance their art of cooking as well as for Perfect Gift.
