Ryda A-30 8” Chef’s Knife

A-30 knives from Ryda are tailored to suit those who are accustomed to holding the knife in a ”pinch” grip over the blade. A-30 knives are characterized by their lightweight and well-balanced construction, providing a pleasurable and efficient experience for chefs. Unlike other knives that often lead to discomfort and sore fingers, the design of the A-30 series is the culmination of decades of kitchen experience and years of meticulous refinement. For the blade Ryda has chosen a 3-layer steel with an Aus-10 steel core, a renowned steel celebrated worldwide for its high performance. With a hardness rating of 60 HRC, it allows for easy sharpening when needed, while being sufficiently robust for tasks where hardness is critical. Furthermore, the steel undergoes a vacuum treatment to enhance its durability. The edge is sharpened to 15° on each side, ensuring the ease of sharpening when necessary. A-30 handles are crafted from stabilized walnut wood, which attains extra hardness through the vacuum treatment process.

Founded by Viktor Ingmarsson after more than a decade as a chef, Ryda knives are designed and made in Sweden. Ingmarsson’s goal is to provide knives that support the human hand and enhance the act of cooking. Ryda strives to balance Scandinavian minimalism with practical innovation, crafting tools that embody both beauty and endurance.
