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.
Each knife in the ST650 series is crafted with a core of ST650 powder steel, flanked by 36 layers of 316/316L stainless steel on either side. Together they have been vacuum-treated for long-lasting sharpness, with a Rockwell hardness of 62-63 HRC for exceptional strength and edge retention. The edges are double-beveled at 15° as are some of the best Japanese grinds. The beautiful French olive wood handles have been dried and conditioned to ensure a durable lifespan. Their shape delivers comfort and control, with ergonomics that both novices and experts can appreciate. Al Ryda handles are comfortable in either the left or right hand.
A 5” utility knife is the best choice 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.
