"Burrfection Knife" Ryky VG10 63-Layers Damascus 240mm Gyuto
$199.00
Pickup currently unavailable
Following the successful launch Ryky's first knife made by Sakai Takayuki, customers wanted more. Customers wanted a Damascus cladded stainless steel blade, with hardness close to the blue #2 version. After evaluating feedback and comments from customers, this VG10 version is the result.
After years of testing every knife he can get his hands on, this particular profile is still one of his favourites. This profile took over a year of designing and redesigning before the final version was approved. By increasing the spine thickness and height above the knife’s “belly”, this VG10 version feels slightly more substantial and robust during use, while the 2.5mm spine thickness gives the blade added stiffness.
Still considered ultralight at only 160 grams (w/ teak handle) and with a profile by Ryky’s spec, this knife will be appreciated by home and professional chefs, as well as knife enthusiasts.
On top of everything, Ryky was able to have these knives made by one of the most famous stainless steel knife makers in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan.

I'm a home cook and have been using this knife for a month or so now. Before this, I had only used 210mm Gyuto's. Initially the 240mm felt big and a little intimidating but I quickly got used to the size and it has become my "go to" knife in the kitchen. It breezes through things like butternut squash way better than my other knives. It comes sharp out of the box and with VG 10 steel and the ebony handle, I find it easy to look after. Really happy with it!

Very nice and very sharp
Simply wow!
Extremely sharp out of the box and gorgeous to look at up close. It's my first Japanese knife, and I've tried it, and I'm fairly impressed. I have always used cheap knives but this one is so impressive, just the way you can cut things soo thin. It comes in a nice packaging with a plastic sleeve for the knife. I can easily recommend this!

Definitely a really good knife and aesthetically very pleasing! I've been using this mainly for cutting rolls from hard deep fry rolls to softer rolls made with more delicate ingredients with no issues. When the knife is sharp it's a beast: cuts for rolls, sashimi, and vegetables are very clean. My only personal issue was the weight being a bit too light for its length but this is just a preference and overall I do hope that you get your hands on one of these if in stock!

This is More than a "beginner knife" as some comments referred to it...It's as Good as my Shun (VGMax) or any other VG knives. The packaging resembles the Apple Computers packaging... Very Elegant and Classy. I noticed on a Tojiro video that they had a knife that resembled your knife and it looked like they used the Same knife and just Lazered your brand on it. Things that make you say...hmmm?
