We’re excited to introduce a new knife brand to our store—Ryda Knives—a collection of high-performance, beautifully designed tools made to elevate your time in the kitchen. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a professional chef, these knives offer the kind of sharpness, balance, and design that make cooking feel effortless.
Founded by Swedish chef Viktor Ingemarsson, Ryda Knives blend Scandinavian design with Japanese and Western culinary traditions. Every knife is handcrafted with thoughtful attention to detail—from the curve of the handle to the cryo-treated steel core—making each one a true workhorse (and work of art) in your kitchen.
We’re currently carrying two of their most popular collections: the A-30 line and the ST650 line. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these knives so special—and help you decide which one is the best fit for your cooking style.
Before we get into the details of each line, here’s what sets Ryda apart from the rest:
- Incredible Sharpness – Each knife is sharpened to a precise 15° edge, ideal for clean, smooth cuts.
- Long-Lasting Durability – Cryo and vacuum heat-treated steel means these blades hold their edge longer and resist wear.
- Premium Materials – With stabilized walnut and olive wood handles, these knives feel as good as they look.
- Balanced and Comfortable – Designed for a pinch grip and made to feel like an extension of your hand.
- Beautiful Damascus Finish – These knives turn heads with their layered steel patterns and sleek design.
A-30 Series: Light, Agile, and Effortlessly Precise
The Ryda A-30 series is all about precision, comfort, and everyday use. They feature a high-carbon, three layer Damascus steel blade with a unique "frosted" aesthetic. These knives are lightweight and balanced, designed with the experienced home cook in mind. If you love the feel of a nimble knife that glides through veggies, herbs, and proteins with ease, the A-30 will quickly become your go-to.
Features We Love:
- AUS-10 core steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC—hard enough for great edge retention, but still easy to sharpen.
- Thin, lightweight blade (just 2mm at the spine) gives you more control and speed while cutting.
- Stabilized walnut handles are both durable and gorgeous, with an ergonomic grip that works for both left- and right-handed users.
- The featherlight design means less wrist fatigue—great for long prep sessions or holiday meals.
Perfect for: Home cooks who want a dependable, sharp, and stylish knife for everyday slicing and dicing.
ST650 Series: Power, Performance, and Polished Precision
The ST650 series is Ryda’s top-tier line—crafted for serious cooks and anyone who wants the very best in performance and edge retention. These knives are slightly heavier and feel incredibly solid in hand, with a sharper edge and a more dramatic Damascus finish.
Features We Love:
- ST650 powder steel core, cryo-treated and hardened to 62–63 HRC for unmatched sharpness and durability.
- 36-layer stainless steel Damascus cladding—gorgeous to look at and resistant to rust.
- French olive wood handles with a slightly fuller grip for added comfort and control.
- Ultra-sharp, high-performance blade with an exceptional lab-tested sharpness rating.
