Bonten Unryu Ryusen Hamono

Bonten Unryu is one of the most exquisite and artistic series of kitchen knives produced by the Ryusen Hamono manufactory, located in the Echizen region of Fukui. The name of the series can be translated as "clouds and dragon", and it perfectly reflects the visual style of these knives: the Damascus pattern on the blades resembles the celestial whirlwinds and movements of a mythical dragon. These knives combine centuries-old traditions of Japanese blacksmithing with modern technology.

The blades of the Bonten Unryu series are made of high-quality VG-10 steel with the addition of vanadium and cobalt for increased strength. The VG-10 core is enclosed between two layers of 63-layer Damascus steel. These knives are easy to sharpen and are highly resistant to wear and corrosion. The hygienic handles are made of stabilized wood.

Particular attention in the Bonten Unryu series is paid to the finishing. Thanks to Ryusen's proprietary technology and delicate hand polishing, the blade acquires a unique shine. Bonten Unryu Ryusen Hamono are premium Japanese kitchen knives that will be appreciated by both chefs and collectors. The knives are supplied in branded boxes.
