Ryusen turns 70 in 2023 and this is one of the new series, which they introduce at the beginning of this year. Not only particularly beautiful in appearance, the specifications are also particularly high. As Ryusen himself points out: ‘High grade model that pursues brilliant beauty and sharpness’. The Oukokuryu, or black dragon, has been deployed as Ryusen's absolute top line. The Super Gold 2 is inlaid in a high number of layers of stainless steel and thanks to the hand forged processing, each knife gets a unique depth pattern. The handle consists of stabilized poplar wood, which is colored in a vacuum. Thanks to the many knots, the handle gets a robust appearance. The handle is well resistant to water, temperature changes and gives a very nice hand feeling.
