A knife unlike any other — the Ronin Series 17″ Tuna Sword is an utterly elegant show-stopper, demanding the attention of all who behold it. Pulling inspiration from the famed maguro kiri bōchō, this uniquely gorgeous design brings the storied history of ultra-specialized, Japanese cutlery traditions to our Ronin Series. Its jaw-dropping length and narrow lines make it ideal for effortlessly slicing large pieces of meat and big fish, from tuna to swordfish and more. 

Precision-forged from a single piece of ultra-premium Japanese high-carbon AUS-10V steel, the single bevel blade is truly a sight to behold. The cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel’s crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility, and hardness. Gorgeously laminated and hot-forged, the “Liquid-Kusari” pattern on the blade minimizes drag while maximizing your slicing efficiency, allowing you to glide through prep. Each knife is hand-finished in the Honbazuke 3-step method, creating a beautiful mirror polished edge at a staggeringly acute 15 degrees.

The traditional Japanese octagon handle, crafted of military-grade G-10 Garolite, lets you get the two-handed hold necessary for professional use. To further enhance the beauty, an intricate copper mosaic pin adorns the center rivet. Included with each knife is a handcrafted wood saya (sheath) with an embedded magnet to ensure a perfectly secure fit, instilling confidence that your blade is carefully protected.

 

The Blade

• 17” of sharp, narrow, slicing power. Square end for the aesthetic and to avoid impaling the meat.
• Japanese AUS-10V steel for maximum robustness and longevity.
• Rated at 60+ Rockwell Hardness so it keeps an edge for longer. 
• Double-bevel blade, painstakingly hand-sharpened to 8-12° per side by expert craftsmen using Dalstrong’s Diamond Detailing (D3) method. 
• Etched “liquid Kusari” blade pattern helps reduce friction and enhance beauty.
• Laser-etched Dalstrong logo

The Handle

• Traditional Japanese octagonal “Wa” shaped handle fits perfectly into the palm.
• Black and red G10 Garolite handle, highly impervious to heat and moisture. Perfect for busy kitchens.
• Intricate mosaic center rivet holds the blade in place. The blade runs full-tang, all the way through the handle, for added strength and durability.
• Engraved Lionhead logo end cap for added heft, balance, and beauty. 
• Professional use, cleans easily.
