Another beautiful creation from Hatsukokoro, this 3-piece set takes the already popular Ryuhyo Migaki Damascus series and gives it a completely new personality with their newly released Western-style Wa handles.
The set includes a 210mm Kiritsuke, 170mm Bunka, and 150mm Petty, covering almost everything you need in the kitchen. The Kiritsuke handles your larger prep and slicing, the Bunka is an incredibly versatile everyday knife, and the Petty takes care of smaller, more precise work.
Handcrafted in Echizen, each blade features the signature highly polished Migaki Suminagashi Damascus finish with an almost mirror-like surface. The layered Damascus pattern changes beautifully under the light, giving the knives a refined look that feels premium without going over the top.
The biggest change is the handle. Hatsukokoro paired these Ryuhyo blades with a new Western-style handle built around a traditional Wa-style insertion system. You get the fuller, familiar feel of a Western handle while keeping the clean construction and balance associated with Japanese Wa handles.
Made from blue stabilized wood and finished with stainless steel accents at both ends, the handles completely transform the look of the Ryuhyo series and give the set a more modern, upscale character.
At the core of each blade is SG2 (R2) powdered stainless steel, hardened to approximately 63 HRC. It offers excellent edge retention, long-lasting sharpness, and the low-maintenance benefits of stainless steel.
The Ryuhyo is also known for its very thin, precise geometry. These are true laser-style cutters with very little resistance through food, making them feel fast, controlled, and effortless through vegetables, proteins, and detailed prep.
A seriously complete 3-piece setup combining high-performance SG2 steel, thin Japanese geometry, polished Damascus blades, and one of Hatsukokoro’s most distinctive new handle designs.
