This updated 2-piece set pairs a long 240mm Kiritsuke with a Petty, creating a highly versatile combo that covers everything from large prep to precise detail work.

Handcrafted in Echizen, the Ryuhyo Kurozome series stands out with its deep black finish layered over a subtle Damascus suminagashi pattern. In the right light, the blade reveals a soft shimmer—refined, understated, and built to stand apart without being flashy.

At the core, both knives use SG2 (R2) powdered steel, hardened to around 63 HRC. This means excellent edge retention, a very fine edge, and a clean, precise cutting feel. The grind is extremely thin—true “laser” geometry—so food separation is effortless and resistance is minimal.

Kiritsuke 240mm: Long, flat profile with an aggressive tip, but where this knife really stands out is on proteins. The ultra-thin “laser” grind and length let you glide through large cuts of meat in a single, clean motion—no tearing, no sawing. Whether it’s trimming, portioning, or slicing cooked meats, it delivers smooth, precise cuts with minimal resistance. This is your main workhorse.

Petty: Compact and precise. Perfect for trimming, in-hand work, and anything that needs control where a larger blade feels too much.

This set is built for someone who wants performance first, without sacrificing aesthetics. A simple, high-end combination that covers 90% of kitchen tasks with ease.
