Handcrafted in Echizen, it features a highly polished Migaki Suminagashi Damascus finish with a near mirror-like surface. The layered Damascus pattern comes alive as the light moves across the blade, giving it a refined and elegant appearance without becoming overly flashy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWhat makes this version especially unique is the handle. Hatsukokoro paired the Ryuhyo blade with a newly released Western-style handle built around a traditional Wa-style insertion system. It combines the familiar shape and fuller feel of a Western handle with the clean construction and balance of a Japanese Wa handle. Made from blue stabilized wood and finished with stainless steel accents at both the front and rear, it gives the knife a modern, premium look while keeping the overall design distinctly Japanese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAt the core is high-performance SG2 (R2) powdered stainless steel, hardened to approximately 63 HRC for excellent edge retention and long-lasting sharpness. The geometry remains extremely thin and precise, placing the Ryuhyo firmly in the “laser” category. The result is very low cutting resistance, excellent control, and an effortless feel through vegetables, proteins, and detailed prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s essentially the Ryuhyo we already loved, now dressed in a completely new handle concept that gives the series a more modern and distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Made in Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734946513129,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/RyuhyoMigakiR2SG2DamascusWesternWa-BMKBunka170mm.png?v=1787834073","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/ryuhyo-migaki-r2-sg2-damascus-western-wa-bmk-bunka-170mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
