Anryu Shirogami Gyuto 210mm

One of the most legendary blacksmiths in Japan. His family made knives since 1870 and he is one of the founding fathers of Takefu knife village. He retired back in 2021 and his legend is continued by his nephew and apprentice Takumi Ikeda that has been anyway manufacturing the Anryu knives for the last few years.

The  Kurouchi / Damascus series are made with White-2 (Shirogami-2) steel with an iron clad that requires extra care. They have the usual unique Anryu grinds and their combined Kurouchi  / Damascus finish make them look even more stunning. The Wa rosewood octagonal handle adds some more beauty.
