Gyuto knife, SG2 powder steel, Kurouchi Tsuchime finish, Western style Ironwood handle - Nigara
type: Product
description: Nigara Hamono has a excellent reputation for creating one of a kind knives. We are very excited to be stocking these knives. In the words of me ‘they are well nice.’ SHAPE: Gyuto. Japan's answer to the chef's knife with a thinner profile. STEEL: SG2 or R2. These are modern powder steels and as the name suggested are formed from mixture of powdered elements heated and pressed together. This allows for very precise recipes to be followed. The steels themselves have the ability to be hardened to above 65 on the Rockwell scale giving them excellent edge retention. This does come at a slight cost in that they can be slightly difficult to sharpen. FINISH: Kurouchi. This is a traditional, rustic finish achieved by leaving the furnace scale from the forging process on the blade rather than polishing it off. It has the advantage of reducing the reactivity of the surface of the knife and gives the blade a stylish, matt black finish. Tsuchime. This is a hand hammered finish that is not only beautiful but also functional. The small depressions stop food sticking to the knife. This finishes comes in many different forms from the traditional round hammer marks to more modern patterns. HANDLE: Western style Ironwood handle BLADE LENGTH: 210mm. MAKER: Nigara Hamono - Japan These knives are hand-forged so there may be slight variations in measurements and finishes.
