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 5” Utility knife is nimble and reliable for everyday prep work. Use it for cutting food too big for a paring knife, but too small for a chef’s knife. It is handy for larger peeling jobs or precision trimming.
