Anryu (Ikeda) AS Gyuto 210mm

After 50 years, Anryu has given over his business to his trusted apprentice, Ikeda san, who now manages Anryu Hamono and does the lion's share of the work.

Anryu Knives, a renowned name in the world of blacksmithing, brings you the White #2 Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm. This knife is a testament to the centuries-old tradition of knife-making, passed down through generations of the Anryu family. Katsushige Anryu, a fourth-generation blacksmith, along with his nephew Ikeda-san, have crafted this exceptional piece.

These fine knives are made from the super steel known as AS, or Aogami Super. AS is a great steel for making knives as it has the highest wear resistance and lowest toughness of the three Blue Paper steels. Edge holding is truly outstanding and it is also easy to sharpen. AS contains the highest amount of carbon and chromium of the three alloys, which not only increases its hardness but also gives it a slight advantage over the others in terms of corrosion resistance. This is further enhanced with the addition of a stainless steel cladding. The cladding is somewhat “softer” or more ductile which further protects the inner cutting core.

The Anryu AS Gyuto 210mm is an average length knife capable of taking on almost any ingredient. It is a compact blade that will find favor with most home users and professionals working in tighter environments. It features a nice length flat heel which transitions to a gentle curved belly. It should please users of all styles of cutting techniques.
