Established in the 1870s, the Anryu family, led by fourth-generation blacksmith Katsushige Anryu, are renowned for their finely crafted knives. Katsushige, while passing the business onto his apprentice Ikeda san, continues to create exceptional gyuto knives featuring multi-layer soft iron cladding over a White #2 high carbon steel core. These reactive blades require hand drying after washing the blades. With an appeal for various cutting styles, we're proud to offer these expertly made, aesthetically pleasing knives that deliver great value.
