Nigara AS TS Gyuto 8.5" (HKT-37)

Now on their 8th generation of blade makers, the Nigara family have been forging knives, tools and swords for over 350 years. F or the Tsuchime series they've chosen to use Aogami Super Steel for the core of the knife. Super is a very popular and durable steel and used widely throughout the Japanese knife world so it's one that's easy to sharpen and retains an edge well so this is definitely a knife going to last when cared for. The hammered pattern is unique . The octagonol, dark brown Walnut handle is durable, simple yet comfortable. Due to the nature of handcrafting and traditional blacksmithing, each knife is unique and may have some cosmetic distortion or irregularities. This is expected and normal. Because these knives are handcrafted, they do not qualify for warranty services.
