These fine knives are made from the super steel knowns as AS, or Aogami Super. AS is a great steel for making knives as it has the highest wear resistance and lowest toughness of the three Blue Paper steels. Edge holding is truly outstanding and it is also easy to sharpen. AS contains the highest amount of carbon and chromium of the three alloys, which not only increases its hardness but also gives it a slight advantage over the others in terms of corrosion resistance. This is further enhanced with the addition of a stainless steel cladding. The cladding is somewhat “softer” or more ductile, which further protects the inner cutting core.

The Anryu AS Gyuto 210mm is an average-length knife capable of taking on almost any ingredient. It is a compact blade that will find favor with most home users and professionals working in tighter environments. It features a nice length flat heel which transitions to a gentle curved belly. It should please users of all styles of cutting techniques.

AS is the highest-performing of the Hitachi Blue Paper steels, offering incredible edge retention and excellent sharpening ease.

Designed for both professional chefs and dedicated home cooks, it embodies the artistry and tradition of Japanese knife-making.

After an illustrious 50-year career, Anryu-san has retired, entrusting his legacy to his longtime and trusted apprentice, Ikeda-san. Now 80 years old, Anryu-san continues to forge knives part-time, ensuring his craftsmanship lives on in every blade.

The knife's construction includes a Hitachi Aogami #2 carbon steel core, hardened to 63 HRC, and wrapped in stainless steel for easier maintenance. This combination delivers a blade that sharpens effortlessly, takes a razor-sharp edge, and holds that edge for an extended period.

Anryu-san’s renowned Hammered line has earned a stellar reputation among Japanese knife enthusiasts, known for its high-performance grinds and rustic yet refined aesthetics. Each knife is meticulously crafted by hand, so slight variations in dimensions may occur, adding to its unique character.

Please note: The carbon steel core will develop a beautiful patina over time with normal use, a hallmark of high-quality carbon steel. However, proper care is essential—keep it dry and clean to prevent rust.

Embrace the craftsmanship and legacy of Anryu-san with this exceptional knife, a true testament to Japanese blade-making tradition.

This is a first class knife! I spent a long time researching different chef knives and i wanted a good workhorse knife,and I found it. Being stainless clad makes it easy to keep clean without worrying about stains. It gets sharp,stays sharp,and responds well to a steel.

I highly recommend this knife and CKTG!

Happy cooking!

Excellent service by cktg,

received fairly quick even via Chicago and dodgy Aus customs.

the knife I got is not as perfectly finished and masakage sharp as the one in Shaun’s video.

it has some choil and spine rough bits I suppose it looks identical to Steve G.s review video knife.

Beautiful knife however - and am very happy with the handle fit and finish and the service.

Cheers

The honesuki is a Japanese version of a boning knife. It is quite different from a Western boning knife. This is mainly due to its triangular shape and the fact that it is a very stiff blade with very little flex. The honesuki works very well for deboning all kinds of proteins including poultry and typically has an asymmetrical edge. However, this knife is ground on both sides with a symmetrical 50/50 edge. Be warned that while it is a boning knife, it is not meant to cut through bones. It is made to cut through the joints of the bird. Due to its shape and height, the honesuki can also double up nicely as a utility or petty style of knife. Comes with a very nice oval rosewood and pakka wood handle.

I was looking for a blue #2 steel nakiri clad in stainless steel with a little heft. This is the knife. It wasn’t razor sharp OOTB. I gave it a 320,1200,8000 nagura stoning,polished with strop and the basics. It now pops hair off my arm. Take care of this baby. The edge can be fragile,pending on the angle and bevel you choose. I went to about 10 degrees each side with a nice visible edge. It’s the fine blue steel edge you must care for. The grinds are close to 50/50,just a tad more ground on the left side of the knife,but ground very sweetly. It is an extremely well made knife. Very fine craftsmanship on this puppy. The maker of this knife truly knows what they are doing. A true gem from the orient. An awesome knife and definitely a keeper! Thank You CKTG

The blade is constructed from Hitachi Blue Paper #2 steel with a stainless steel cladding. This adds strength to the inner core while protecting it from corrosion. The stainless cladding is given that famous hammered finish. The core Blue #2 steel will take an extremely keen edge with ease and hold that edge for a long time. Even though it is wrapped in stainless steel, the exposed carbon core of the knife will discolor with normal use and could rust if abused. Keep it dry and clean and you are good to go!

The unique feature of these knives is their construction: a core of Hitachi Aogami #2 carbon steel that has been hardened to 63 HRC, enveloped in stainless steel to simplify upkeep. This special core steel can easily acquire a supremely sharp edge and retain it for an extended duration. The Hammered line by Mr. Anryu has earned a reputable standing amongst Japanese knife connoisseurs for its top-notch functionality and its rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic. Being a product of artisan craftsmanship, one should allow for slight variations in dimensions between each knife.

The Anryu Kurouchi Damascus Bunka knife, a testament to their craft, is meticulously forged using Shirogami #2 high carbon steel, enhanced by a multilayered iron cladding. The hardened steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 61-62 HRC, is particularly prized for its exceptional edge longevity and straightforward sharpening. Known as White #2, this steel is highly favored among blade aficionados. The exterior layer, referred to as the jigane, boasts a traditional kurouchi coating, imparting a distinctive rustic aesthetic. This coating gradually transitions into a beautifully layered, or suminagashi, blade road. While this knife is undeniably attractive, it is also reactive, necessitating careful cleaning and thorough drying both during and post-use to maintain its quality.

The bunka is a really versatile blade that is growing in popularity in the West with both professional and home chefs. The short length and tall blade combine to create a knife with very broad uses and appeal. They can be used to replace a short gyuto or santoku, especially when you favor push-cutting and chopping techniques. Of course, the great-looking reverse tanto profile also offers a compelling aesthetic, especially coupled to the finely crafted rosewood oval handle with black pakka wood ferrule.

Katsushige Anryu is the fourth generation of this esteemed family of blacksmiths. He has just recently turned over the business to his long-time apprentice Ikeda san while still working the hammer daily.

He makes this lovely gyuto from a multi-layer soft iron cladding over an inner core of White #2 high carbon steel. This is a reactive blade and will require care with cleaning and drying between uses. It is a great-looking item featuring a well-done kurouchi finish, which transforms beautifully into the suminagashi multi-layer part of the blade road.

The blade is quite thick out of the handle but it then thins out nicely to the extremely fine tip. The choil area has the characteristic Anryu curve, which makes for a very comfortable pinch grip. This is enhanced by the perfect balance point just forward of the heel. They are ground quite thin at the edge, which adds to the outstanding cutting abilities of this well-made knife. The cutting edge profile is quite curved but will still appeal to most users, whether employing rocking or push cutting styles.

We are really pleased to be able to offer these lovely knives to our customers. They are well made, handsome to behold, and an overall great value.

I don’t navigate well through computer land. So I couldn’t find a way to leave a description of my brief experience with the afore mentioned knife. Didn’t find the thingee to click on. So to explain what I did,cleaned off the dark grey coating,Bad move? Honed the hell out of it with a porcelain rod and cut up a crop of vegetables. Couldn’t be happier with the knife.Can’t imagine anyone wanting better. If you’re in touch with the fellow that made it,please tell him he has my respect. I think the knife looks much better without the charcoal coating. I polish it down after use,apply a bit of walnut or cocoanut oil and put it away in a slotted drawer. Need to make a good wooden sleeve for it. Sincerely,Bruce

The Anryu Kurouchi Damascus Santoku is constructed from Shirogami #2 high carbon steel with a multilayer soft iron cladding. The steel is hardened to 61-62 HRC. Shirogami #2 or White #2 is a high carbon steel that is liked for its high level of edge retention and relative ease of sharpening. The outer layer, or jigane, is finished with a rustic kurouchi coating. The kurouchi finish fades into a nice layered or suminagashi blade road. This is a good-looking knife, but it is reactive and will require care with cleaning and drying during and after use.

This hand-hammered santoku is thin at the edge and comes out of the box fairly sharp. A few strokes on a fine stone will reveal a razor-like edge. The choil and neck area are nicely finished, as is the basic but well-made oval rosewood handle.

There is a lot of knife here for the money. Lovely looks, a light, well-balanced feel, and excellent fit and finish sum up this high-value santoku. Check out this great performer. You'll be glad you did.

Great stone.

This was the third installment in the set with the bester 500 an 2k.

The stone feels soo smooth and leaves a nice shiny polish.

I would have to agree that this stone puts on a 8k like finish.

No soaking either,just wet it and get to work. great stone to finish on.

Like this one a lot,it’s smooth and hard.

The Arashiyama takes a moderate amount of time to soak. It cuts very quickly for how high the polish is that it leaves. It tends to stick to the DMT XXC pretty badly when flattening. Great stone overall.

This is a quality stone. Hard and durable,the best feature about the Arayashima is the fact that it’s splash and go,and cuts fast and clean for a 6000grit.

Brought a fantastic finish and edge to my Moritaka kurouchi 270mm gyuto,Hattori HD and Konouke white #2 sujihiki with consistent and precise results.

No need to use force with this stone,it does all the work for you in a flash (provided you have decent sharpening skills).

It does exactly what its supposed to do,and brings the characteristics of an 8000grit stone to your knives too.

Thank you Arayashima,and thank you Mark for bringing this great product to the site.

Feels smooth,hard,gives good feedback and is splash-n-go. Love it!

Agree that soaking gets a better result then splash and go.

polish and cut with soaking is much faster with minimal effort.

splash and go you see how hard the stone actually is,not as great a polish without soaking though.

Overall a great 6k stone,more reaching into the 8k stone area,compared to king stones

Great stone! Great feedback. Great feel. Great polish. Slow wearing. Nice for splash-and-go. No complaints with this stone at all.

This stone is fantastic. The feel and hardness are Awesome. It works up a nice mud and the finish can go from 6000 to 8000 depending on pressure and how much you work the mud. This and my Kitayama are,by far,my favorite stones.

By: Federico

Hoboken,NJ

Great stone for woodworking too.

I like it much better than other finishing stones I have tried.

it gives a smooth,sharp and durable edge,the feel is "organic" compared to most ceramic stones and it cuts fast but cleanly. works great for splash and go.

only "issue" so far is that it will stick a little if using a wide are on the back of a blade,but that’s normal for most fine stones that aren’t very soft.

someone said that is sticks to the DMT plate,I find it sticks to a Iwood plate also,but doesn’t stick at all to the Atoma plates.

I’ve sold off all my other fine stones,don’t need more than this one.

I was fortunate enough to pick up thirteen new natural stones. Naturals never come flat. I had a lot of work ahead of me to flatten the stones to usable condition. This plate is coarse,flat and made quick (relatively speaking) work of flatening my naturals. I ended up getting a DMT 220 use after the 140 to get a finer finish but it was putting a very slight groove along the face of the stone so I don’t even bother now. After the Atoma 140,I use a nagura to condition the surface and go straight to sharpening. Highly recommended for natural stones or badly dished artificials.

Average rating is 4.7

WOW!! This this is great for reprofiling and is super fast. It might seem a bit spendy at first,but once you get it and use it some,you will know it was worth it.

Main advantage is that it does not dish. Probably a bit faster than the EP 120 stone.

Rating is lower because the diamonds are in metal that rusts. I must have stored the stone moist,because I found rust spots in between the diamonds after a few days.

Also,the finish of mine was not great. A ridge of metal at the top was elevated higher than the diamonds. No biggy,but I expected a bit better for this price.

I read a lot about the quality of Hand American (HA) products on Bladeforums. I’m so glad I tried them out. I applied 1 micron HA Diamond Spray to the Balsa Magnetic Pads for stropping and was wonderfully surprised with the results. It has clearly taken my stropping and edge refinement to the next level. Perhaps the ultimate level!

I use a 10k stone followed by balsa wood with .5micron ken schwartz boron nitride,and balsa with .1 micron ks boron. The edge on both white and blue steel comes up to a 2 inch pinch distance paper edge cut with ease. Don’t think of balsa like the stuff from your model airplanes,this is hard balsa. Balsa ranges from 2.5 lbs/cu ft to 10 times heavier. This is almost like very soft pine,nothing like the balsa on kids toy airplanes where you can bite through it. Great stuff!

By: bob luhrs

I use two of them back to back. They stick right together,and I put .5 micron boron nitride and .1 on opposite sides. Just a couple of wipes on each side and knife is razor sharp. No need for support bases with these balsa strips they hold fine to cutting board or other surface if you stick 2 of them together. the minor bits of junk on them don’t affect the sharpening effects.

Outstanding value for such a good stone. Fast cutting and has great feedback.

I must admit that my sharpening skill is not equal to this stone. I started off with a bestor 1200 and this suhiro rica 5000. Yes,I do get good edges with this as a polishing stone. In the process I have given this stone divits and have not flattened it yet. Yes I need to flatten it but I am on a budget. This is a softer stone and it takes practice to be able to sharpen on it without cutting gouges in the stone. Learn your blade angles on harder stones. Lately,I have been much better at holding an angle. But I am fully willing to admit it is not the stones fault. It is my fault.

So,through experience I can confidently say that learning on cheaper lesser grit stones how to hold your knife and stroke it during sharpening is invaluable. Tread gently on polishing stones as they are easier to gouge. Cheers!

The bestor 1200 is a rock! It removes metal and is a very sturdy stone that does not wear away as much as the polishing stone that I have.

I am new to sharpening but the bestor 1200 seems like a winner as it is hard,double sided,and I can leave it in a soak without having to baby sit it before sharpening.

My only complaint is that I am new to sharpening and I think I remove too much metal with it. That is my fault while learning the technique. It is not the stones fault... it is mine.

I am of the opinion that I was recommended a very good stone for what it is. I just have to learn to use it better.

Sharpening is learning.

This is my first whetstone so I’m still learning,but these seem like a solid buy and the prices/service/shipping were top notch at chefknivestogo.com

If I lost my stone collection,this would be the first stone I would buy. It’s really easy to use,cuts extremely fast,and has a nice smooth feel. It doesn’t need much soaking but if you leave it in water for a long time,it doesn’t make the stone feel mushy. I can get my knives sharp enough using only this stone,although I prefer to use finishing stones. I can’t think of a single fault with this stone.

Great stone for the price. Cuts fast and is nice and hard. One of the first stones I started with,very good by for someone looking for a first stone. Leave a good edge that doesn’t need much refinement.

My go-to intermediate stone. Good width even for long chef’s knives. An excellent cutter with decent feedback; it leaves a good "working edge" which can be further refined on higher grit stones. An excellent value!

First waterstone I have ever used so take my review for what it is,a rank novices opinion. However,coming from oilstones to this is a revelation. I also have a few diamond plates,both eze lap plates of 600 and 1200. I will say that the bester 1200 is a completely different animal than the eze 1200. The finish is much better. I do understand about feedback and I think this stone has great feedback. A really nice feel in use and easy to tell when you are off angle. The sound and the feel change instantly. I am very happyso far to have made the switch and with my choice of stones. By the way,I use my stones for woodworking tools. Plane blades and chisels and the like,carbon steel and the cutting action is fine on this steel.

mixed review. Put the sharpest edge on my knives. but after 2 days the leather delaminated from the base.

Adding a little CO paste to this strop makes for a blazing sharp edge. Best results I’ve ever achieved with my EP after finishing my knives with this.

When used with care,this product provided a polished edge with just a hint of "tooth". That combination was perfect to handcut and trim aged steaks.
