Hacoa Asymmetry Case SAYA & Ryusen Hamono Asymmetry knife

Today, as it happens once a month, new Hacoa items arrived straight from Japan. I feel very lucky that I was able to get a set that it is available in limited quantity, and it is a collaboration between Hacoa and Ryusen Hamono. I opted for the Hacoa Asymmetry Case SAYA Round, as a square one is also available, and mine is made out of cherry wood! Three types of wood are available, including walnut and purpleheart.

The case itself is just stunning!!! The finish is simply superb and you can immediately appreciate the unparalleled craftsmanship involved!

The Ryusen Hamono Asymmetry SK01 steak knife is... a work of art!!! It is handmade (!), very light, and as you would imagine, sharp. You just need to pull it lightly in order to cut, thus not destroying the food.

The finishing touch? The two Thanks Magnet that were included, a very nice one out of magnolia wood, and a special one for Father’s Day out of cherry :-)
