An In depth look
Blade Type
The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.
Steel Type
SGSTRIX is a high-carbon, high stainless powder steel designed to perform better than SG2, whilst being even easier to sharpen. It has finer carbibe sizes similar to Blue or White Steel, with high corrosion resistance.
Care Information
Introducing
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.
