Ryda A-73 Series 8 inch Chef's Knife

Viktor Ingemarsson, a professional chef who traveled the world for many years, created Kyda knives with a hybrid approach that features a remarkable balance between Japanese and Western knife-making traditions with Swedish inspiration.  They feature razor-sharp edges, balanced handling, and exceptional edge retention. 

The A-73 series is the most high-end collection created by Ryda.  Each knife is designed for its specific purpose.  For example, the chef knife has a balance point higher up on the blade to benefit a high pinch grip, while the 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 certified French olive wood, and all Ryda handles are comfortable in either the right or left hand.  The A-73 blade has the custom ST650 steel for its core flanked by 36 layers of 316/316l high carbon San Mai damascus steel on each side.  This series achieves a score above 840 on the CATRA test.  

A-73 knives are designed for professionals (especially those who have been in the industry for a bit and wish to upgrade their knives).   They are also perfect for new chefs interested in a set that will last for many years.  The A-73 series celebrates Ryda’s 10-year anniversary and the Legacy Chef knife won the prestigious Red Dot Award in 2024.

The A-73 chef’s knife is purpose built for the perfect cut every time, featuring a higher balance point on the blade for chefs who prefer a professional pinch grip.  It offers all-purpose precision for slicing, dicing, and rocking cuts.
