[Blade Material] The blade of the Ryujin knife is made from carefully selected domestically produced molybdenum vanadium steel, which enhances strength and toughness through proper tempering and increases wear resistance through vanadium. The blade's hardness is set at a superhardness of 58 (±1), resulting in a sharp cutting edge. [Sharpness] The sharpness of the Ryujin knife is achieved through the traditional sharpening method called "Edo-giri," performed by skilled craftsmen, a rare expertise in Japan. The 7:3 sharpening ratio achieved through Edo-giri contributes to its sharp cutting edge. [Structure] The structure of the Ryujin knife integrates the blade (made of molybdenum vanadium steel) and handle using only stainless steel, without any screws, and is meticulously finished by the skillful techniques of craftsmen. The handle features a lightweight hollow structure and is designed to be easy to grip with intricate carvings similar to Kamakura carving.
