Nigara Hamono

Nigara Hamono of Aomori are truly some of the most experienced knifemakers in Japan. Headed by Go-Yoshizawa San whom we met personally in 2023 (what a legend), they are now on their 8th generation of blacksmiths, they are masters at stainless Damascus forging and heat treatment. They supply knives of impeccable finish with some of the best performing knives we've come across. They can also do it all, from forging Honyaki, experimenting with new steels and wild finishes, to creating flawless daily workhorse knives that don't break the bank.

Chef's Edge

We pride ourselves on offering an unparalleled selection of Japanese knives. From the versatile Gyuto and the precise Santoku to specialized knives like the Nakiri and Yanagiba, each knife is handpicked for its quality and performance.
