About Ryusen Blazen Ryu - Of all the makers currently crafting blades in Japan, Ryusen makes some of the cleanest, most consistent, and most comfortable kitchen knives I’ve ever handled. Founded in 1948, Ryusen started producing high-quality stainless steel blades long before others in the industry, working closely with companies like Takefu Special Steel as early as the 1970s.

I’ve been guilty of comparing kitchen knives to sports cars more than once, and this is exactly the kind of knife I’m talking about when I make that comparison: sleek, badass, and incredibly fun to cut with. The handle is tapered to fit your hand perfectly, making the knife an extension of your hand.

When it gets to work, it’s stupidly sharp thanks to a core of super-hard SG2 steel, so the razor-thin edge just blows through whatever ingredients you place before it. It’s actually difficult to put this knife down and move on to the next task.

About the Shape - This is the knife for smaller jobs that are done on a cutting board. Perfect for slicing shallots, cutting herbs, and boning smaller proteins. Additionally, Petty knives are an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Unprecedented Sharpnesses

"The Ryusen Blazen Ryu Wa Petty has an unprecedented sharpness, excellent edge and so light-weight. My kitchen is in black walnut finish so the petty looks to belong. Beautiful knife."

Bought only the Best for a wedding Gift!!!

"It’s a piece of Art, I wish them Hot Times in Thier Kitchen Alwayd"

— Sharma C. (5/5)

lightweight & nimble

"super light, handles well, quite a straight blade without much knuckle clearance, good for sandwiches and fruits. Be careful to not store the knife wet in the blade cover - the signature etching came off and stained the knife :( Also, the fact that it's printed on VS etched in is a -1 for me, makes the knife feel more mass produced than crafted."

— Jessica M. (4/5)

Great Petty!

"So I watched a ton of review videos, tested a dozen or so knives in my hand and this one stood out. Super light, razor sharp, feels like an extension of your hand. Perfect knife for that detail work, but still big enough to get work done. Plus it’s a sexy looking knife!"

— Drew T. (5/5)

Perfect in between knife

"Excellent knife that fits my hand perfectly. Exactly what I wanted, an all purpose utility knife that is light and razor sharp and ideal for most tasks. I have found myself peeling oranges and grapefruit with this guy instead of using my hands!"

— Matt P. (5/5)

I like it!

"I like it!"

— Rasmey Y. (5/5)

Beautiful knife. I purchased online

"Beautiful knife. I purchased online and the team was very helpful in answering my questions. I really like the unique handle shape, which sort of tapers towards the heel of the blade. The fit and finish is very nice, and the blade is extremely sharp out of the box."

— Aaron G. (5/5)

A smidge too long

"The knife is of excellent build quality, holds an extremely sharp edge, and the handle is very comfortable to hold. The only thing I can ding it for is that the length is this awkward middle ground between a proper paring knife and a utility knife. After having used it for a while, I would've preferred something smaller (on the order of 3.5 to 4 inches). Its larger size makes it awkward for small tasks, yet its not quite long enough to trim up small cuts of meat."

— Michael L. (4/5)
