Two essentials, perfected. The A73 2 piece set combines the versatility of a chef’s knife with the precision of a utility knife—crafted for balance, sharpness, and lasting performance. With a cryo-hardened core of ST650 powder steel wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus, these blades reach 63 HRC, promising edges that stay true.

Handles in figured olive wood complete the set, bringing natural warmth to uncompromising steel. Designed to move seamlessly between daily tasks and fine work, this duo is the foundation of every inspired kitchen.

The A73 series from Ryda Knives is the most high-end collection we have created, with each knife designed for its specific purpose. For example, our chef knife has a balance point higher up on the blade to benefit a high pinch grip, while our slicing knife has a balance point further back to support a sturdier grip on the handle combined with a light pinch grip.

The handles are made from smooth French olive wood, and for the blade we use our custom ST650 steel as the core material. With our grind, we achieve a score above 840 on the CATRA test. This series is designed for professional chefs, especially those who have been in the industry for a while and are looking to upgrade their knives. However, they are also perfect for new chefs who want to start their career with a set they can keep for many years to come.
