Pure Practicality

If you are looking for a knife that promises pure performance the SAKON Ryuga is for you. Its extreme sharpness and edge holding capability will withstand even the rigors of a Top Professional Chef. We aimed at embodying an outstanding performance in an elegant classical style to create a truly beautiful professional knife.

Japanese style SAKON Ryuga series:

They have brand-new "water-resistant processed bamboo handle" with elegant mosaic pin. Optional Legendary Dragon engraving is prepared by special order.

Western style SAKON Ryuga series:

The water-resistant pakka wood handle is exquisitely fitted between the bolster and butt of the knives.

Powder Metallurgy for the blade material

The added elements of tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium are very effective in contributing to the knife’s hardness & durability, However when using the conventional dissolution method, they tend to turn into rough carbide during the coagulation process. Powder Metallurgy achieves coagulation maintaining the minute metal structure even when reacting with the abundant matter of these elements. The powdered high-speed steel (SRS15) is a material very rich in carbon & these other elements. The “Powder Metallurgy” application produces an ideal result.

Clad Blade

The hard layer, SRS-15 steel gives the "SAKON Ryuga" blade an immense strength and incredible hardness of up to HRC-64. The fine molecular structure of the powdered steel enables these slender blade knives to glide effortlessly through any task, giving the act of cutting a fluid silkiness.

This remarkable SRS-15 steel is protected by a layer of softer (SUS 405) stainless steel on surface side to ease sharpening when needed which is not often on an "SAKON Ryuga".
