FOR SALE: FU RIN KA ZAN SWEDISH STAINLESS GYUTO 270mm with saya. Used once in a home kitchen. Purchased in February 2023.
"The blade is made from solid Swedish stainless steel (HRc. 60), which is well known for its purity and fine grain structure. The combination of high quality steel and finely sharpened blade means these knives are particularly suitable for precise, detailed cutting tasks.
"Our Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Craftsmen explained to us that, over 10 years ago, a highly respected Master Forge-Smith was specially chosen to forge a small number of mono-steel / solid steel blades. We decided to offer these rare blades to our customers as a special limited edition, hammer forged version of our Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Sweden Stainless Steel Series Wa Gyuto.
Using the traditional hammer forging process, the Master Forge-Smith carefully shapes the blade from a solid bar of Swedish Stainless Steel, allowing him to maximize the desirable characteristics of the steel. As you know, it is currently very rare to see Hammer Forged Mono-Steel blades, unfortunately, this means there will be a very limited quantity of Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Limited Hammer Forged Sweden Stainless Steel Wa Series knives available for purchase.
The Japanese traditional-style octagonal handle is made from magnolia wood and has a water buffalo horn ferrule. Each knife also includes a matching magnolia wood Saya (“Sheath”) for safekeeping." - Japanese Chef Knife website.
Most experts have confirmed that Ashi Hamono is the blade smith. I ground down one corner that was very sharp at the Machi gap. Ferrule has some spots that arrived not perfectly polished but has some nice color variation as well. Super Laser.
