Shimomura Un-Ryu VG10 Damascus
The UN-RYU collection is a wonderful demonstration of Shimomura’s knife-making heritage, blending traditional Sanjo craftsmanship with high-performance modern metallurgy. At its core is premium VG10 stainless steel, a cobalt-rich alloy renowned for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge through demanding kitchen tasks.
This high-performance core is clad in 33 layers of Damascus steel, creating a striking, rippled pattern reminiscent of drifting clouds. Each blade is hand-finished by Shimomura's skilled artisans to ensure a seamless balance and a refined, comfortable grip, offering professional-grade performance and timeless Japanese aesthetics.
