THE ART OF OBSESSION
RYDA KNIVES BY VIKTOR INGEMARSSON SWEDEN
A Childhood Dream
In 2014, I released my first cookbook, which opened many doors and piqued my curiosity about entrepreneurship. By traveling the world, meeting excellent chefs, and collaborating with different companies, I found the inspirationto pursue my passion project: creating the knives I’ve always dreamt of having myself.
Having a good knife makes all the difference, and as a chef, your craft depends
on it. When you grab one of my knives, you should feel in control and as if you
have found a trustworthy kitchen partner for years to come.

The Art of Obsession
were all details that kept us up at night.
Equally much thought and passion has been put into designing the handles, aiming to create the sensation of becoming one with your knife. All our handles are comfortable in both the left and right hand and are crafted with both professional chefs and home cooks in
mind.
Behind the A-30 Series
The A-30 series is designed for experienced kitchen knife users. Over many years, we have meticulously developed these knives with the needs of proficient users in mind.
The knife is tailored to suit those who are accustomed to holding the knife in a ”pinch” grip over the blade. The 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, our design is the culmination of decades of kitchen experience and years of meticulous refinement.
For the blade we choose a 3-layer steel with an Aus-10 steel core, a renowned steel celebrated worldwide for its high performance. With a hard-ness 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 sharp-ened to 15° on each side, ensuring the ease of restoring sharpness when nec-essary.
The handle is crafted from stabilized walnut wood, which attains extra hardness through the vacuum treatment process.
