Nigara Hamono SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime 180mm Santoku – Octagonal Teak & Buffalo Horn Japanese Chef Knife

A Masterpiece Forged from 400 Years of Samurai Heritage

Elevate your culinary precision with the Nigara Hamono Santoku, a multipurpose masterpiece that embodies eight generations of swordsmithing expertise. Originating from a legendary Samurai clan, this 18cm ‘three virtues’ knife is designed to excel at slicing, dicing, and mincing with effortless grace.

Visual Artistry & Superior Steel

The blade features an ultra-hard SG2 (R2) powdered steel core, reaching a 62-63 HRC for unparalleled edge retention. It is encased in a striking Kurouchi Tsuchime finish—a dark, hand-hammered blacksmith texture that provides a beautiful contrast against the polished cutting edge. This textured surface also aids in food release during intensive prep work.

Premium Ergonomic Design

The handle is crafted from sustainably elegant Teak wood in a traditional octagonal shape, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip for both professional and home use. It is perfectly balanced by a genuine black buffalo horn bolster and a sophisticated silver spacer, reflecting the brand’s commitment to luxury and functional art.
