The Blacksmith
Ryusen Hamono is another fantastic maker working out of the Echizen City Area. They fully embrace the tradition of the region and take great pride in every step of the knife making process. They produce knives with excellent fit & finish, and sharpness that are absolutely beautiful to look at and hold. Winners of numerous design awards and supporters of the Japanese national team at the Bocuse D'or their knives are popular with professional chef's and home cooks alike.
Ryusen Hamono works primarily with SG2/R2, a high powder stainless steel that is very hard and grinds super thin behind the edge. The blades generally have a shorter blade height, which makes them great for precise slicing tasks. Their profiles vary quite a bit, from aggressive sweeping k-tips to more traditional yet modern gyuto shapes. The blades are very consistent, as they employ both modern and traditional techniques, each blade is hand sharpened and impeccably sharp out of the box. Every handle has a unique pattern, particularly the Blazen line, which has a distinctly comfortable taper, compared to the Tanganryu line, which is a hybrid western micarta handle, also with a smooth finish.

～ High grade model that pursues brilliant beauty and sharpness ～
Among the many series of Ryusen knives, the "Oukokuryu" series was created with the aim of being the highest grade.The cutting edge is made of ultra-high-grade stainless steel "Super Gold 2" made by powder metallurgy, and the sharpness pursued to the limit achieves high sustainability and durability.In addition, 99 layers of nickel damascus base metal are hammered by skilled craftsmen to create a unique damascus pattern, resulting in a blade with unprecedented depth and beauty.The handle is made of stabilized wood that uses "poplar", which has a beautiful heathered grain and knobs. Stabilized wood is a stable material that is resistant to water and temperature changes by infiltrating resin into wood and hardening it. A handle with a presence that makes the finest blade stand out."Oukokuryu Series" A top-class model that thoroughly pursues aesthetics and quality and incorporates the spirit of the craftsmen.The best quality will deliver even more gorgeous moments.

Takeshi Saji is a master craftsman working out of the famed Takefu knife village, an co-op of incredible craftspeople renowned for it's kitchen knife production. In 1992 he was recognized by the Japanese government as a "Traditional Master Craftsman" and he was one of the founding members of the Takefu knife village. He hand forges each of his knives using the traditional methods passed down through the generations over the past 700 years.

The KnifeThe petty knife is great for all the little things. Working off the board in the hand, trimming and garnishing jobs like cleaning Brussels sprouts or strawberries, butchery tasks like breaking down chicken and small fish or as a general purpose knife that you can leave out on the counter if you're a home cook or use during service as your line knife if you're a professional. We would argue it's an essential for the home cook and professional.

The Atoma Diamond plate #140 grit is the gold standard for whetstone flattening. It removes material extremely quickly and allows you to flatten your stones with relative ease. While other synthetic truing stones will abrade and wear over time they will tend to lose their flatness especially quickly when truing exceptionally wonky stones. The Atoma in comparison is mounted on a solid aluminum block that will remain flat through all the highs and lows you throw at it! They are also great for repairs as they can very quickly remove steel from a knife. We wouldn't make a habit of using it to sharpen knives though as doing so will pull diamonds off the surface making it less and less effective as a flattening or sharpening tool. Should you wear out your diamond plate, you can peel off the diamond pad and replace it down the road when that time comes.#140 is quite coarse and will leave DEEP scratches when thinning, it is not recommended to thin a knife unless you have an adequate progression of stones to work out those scratches. It is sometimes stated that the #140 will leave the surface of your stone too rough, though unless working on razors, we've not noticed it to be an issue, nothing a quick kiss with a nagura won't fix if you are though!

They have a higher amount of abrasives and less binder than other lines from Naniwa, and are one of the best lines of stones money can buy in our opinion!A 1000 grit stone is our first recommended stone in everyones kit, its coarse enough to cut in a relatively dull knife, and fine enough that with lightened up hand pressure you can polish your edge up enough to be able to shave your arm hair! Remember, if you can't achieve great sharpness on a 1000 grit stone, your technique needs adjusting, or you should have started on a coarser grit stone if your knife was already too far gone to be brought back to life on a 1000, before a higher grit stone will help you!Dimensions : 210mmx70mmx20mm

Grit: #3000
The Suehiro Ouka is a great middle grit soaking stone from the same line as the Suehiro Rika #5000.
If you already have 1000 and 5000 grit stones this may be a little redundant but can be a great bridge to go between something like a 700 or 1000 to an 8000 for edge work or a fantastic stone to finish your knives on to maintain some tooth. We also feel that this is a perfect stone to touch up an edge when a full sharpening progression isn't needed.
For bevel work we've found the Ouka to feel very similar to the Rika,soft and very smooth with a good amount of mud. The stone cuts quickly and can provide a nice contrast between your cladding and core steel.
