Anryu Hamono - AS Polished Damascus Nakiri 165mm

Anryu Hamono — Strength, Tradition, and Serious Cutting Power

Anryu Hamono represents over 50 years of master craftsmanship from fourth-generation blacksmith Katsushige Anryu, forged in the heart of Takefu Knife Village. Today, that legacy lives on through his nephew and successor, Takumi Ikeda, who continues the workshop’s reputation for power, precision, and consistency.

Known for their bold forging style, beautiful Damascus work, and love of Aogami Super carbon steel, Anryu knives deliver outstanding edge retention and a solid, confident feel on the board. Hand-forged using traditional coke-fired methods, every blade reflects strength, skill, and deep respect for Japanese knife-making heritage.

If you want a knife with real character, proven performance, and a story behind every cut, Anryu delivers.
