Ryusen Blazen Ryu Wa Gyuto 240mm

My new fav knife

This is my second Ryusen Blazen. My first has been my workhorse for the last 15 years and is everything I ever wanted in a chef knife. This knife is a significant step above the original Blazen that I own. It is beautifully shaped and finished. The attention to detail in the maple handle (profile and shape) is excellent, the rounded spine makes for a way more comfortable heavy chopping session, the blade is incredibly light and so far has also been durable without chipping etc. I am sold on Ryusen. As a pro chef, this is my new go to. It literally made me giggle the first time I skinned and chopped a cantaloupe :)
