Nigara SG Strix Nakiri 150mm Ebony Handle

Nigara is a distinguished Japanese blacksmithing house spanning over 350 years. Founded during the early Edo period, the Nigara family began crafting swords for the Tsugaru clan in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture. For over eight generations, now under the leadership of Go Yoshizawa, they have preserved and refined their traditional forging techniques, transitioning from samurai swords to high-performance kitchen cutlery celebrated worldwide.

The Nigara SG Strix 180mm Nakiri Knife is distinguished by its high hardness along with substantially finer grain structure and carbides. This paired with advanced forging and heat treating techniques allows for outstanding edge retention without sacrificing the ability to sharpen.
