Riku vs the usual suspects

| Stays sharp | Nitrogen-cooled VG10 core keeps its edge for longer | Dulls quickly | Needs honing more often |
| Precision work | Mirror-polished edge for slicing and detail | Thick, clumsy blade | Heavier, thicker blade |
| Value | 67-layer Damascus from €61,95 | Cheap, but replaced often | Premium prices for softer steel |

Good to know
Which Riku knife should I start with?
The 2-piece set: the 8" chef knife for most jobs and the 5" utility knife for the small ones, for less than buying them separately. Prefer something lighter? Try the 7" santoku.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry it straight after use to keep the edge sharp and the handle looking its best.
How long does delivery take?
Shipping is free worldwide on every order. Most orders arrive within 7–10 business days; remote areas can take a little longer.
What if it’s not right for me?
You have 180 days to return it, as long as it's complete, undamaged and in its original packaging.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every Riku knife is covered by our lifetime warranty.
Ready when you are
Feather-sharp Damascus for every cut.
Bring it home and feel the difference on your very first chop.
