The slicing knife is ideal for cutting large pieces of meat, such as grilled or delicatessen slices. Its slim blade, combined with its low height, gives you better cutting accuracy, while its length ensures that you can cut even large slices easily and accurately with just one move.

Extremely sharp blade The blade of Tangan Ryu  is made of 67 layers of damascus steel and VG10 steel core. It is thin and sharpened to such an extent that any of your cuts will look as easy as cutting butter. The damascus blade at the bottom has a beautiful matte finish which is created by dipping the blade after forging in engraving fluid. Due to this process, the contrasts of the layers on the steel are more visible. While at the top, the mirror finish which then becomes hammered, gives a really impressive look.

Octagonal handle with unique hold The first part of the knife you come in contact with, is its handle. The handle of Tangan Ryu is made of micarta, synthetic material made of cotton in combination with resin, which has then has been hardened under high pressure. The flat surfaces on both sides of the handle will ensure control and grip and help cutting in the right direction.

Made In Japan The Japanese tradition in knife making goes back many years, drawing on the techniques perfected making samurai knives. Today, tradition blends harmoniously with the most modern and innovative techniques for making metal alloys and knives.

Master of Blades recommends avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Soft steel knives need stone grinding more often, but they can also revert to their previous condition temporarily with the use of a sharpener steel.
