ABOUT NIGARA HAMONO

We’re absolutely captivated by the craftsmanship of the Nigara Tsuchime + Damascus knives, forged from premium VG10 steel. Handcrafted by Yoshizawa-san, these blades are a masterclass in design and functionality. Nigara’s expert grinding techniques deliver an extraordinary thinness, while the unique hammered Tsuchime pattern adds both visual flair and practical performance. Striking the perfect balance—thin but durable, light yet solid—they provide just the right heft for confident cutting and arrive razor-sharp straight out of the box. With a stainless steel core, they offer laser-like precision and minimal maintenance.  

Although relatively new to knifemaking, Nigara Hamono draws on over 350 years of history as master swordsmiths from Aomori prefecture. Their legacy is evident not only in these stunning blades but also in their expertise producing steel for architectural projects. This collection sets a new benchmark for stainless steel knives in its price range, combining heritage, beauty, and unmatched quality.
