At 210mm, this blade handles what shorter knives cannot: long fluid slicing through salmon fillets, efficient chicken breakdown, sweeping rock-chop through large herb bundles. The cloud-dragon pattern flows across the full blade face. Layered construction is harder at the edge (sharpness retention) and more flexible along the spine (resilience). Each blade is inspected under magnification before receiving the UN-RYU mark. A once-in-a-lifetime investment in a tool that will outlast you.
