Specifications
The Hatsukokoro x Nigara Irodori aogami#2 damascus kiritsuke gyuto is a handcrafted Japanese knife forged by Nigara Hamono for the Hatsukokoro brand. Based in Aomori, Japan, Nigara Hamono forged this blade using a core of Hitachi aogami#2 steel, known for its excellent balance of edge retention and toughness.
The blade showcases a striking damascus pattern with bold geometric patterns and angular shapes, etched to accentuate the contrast between the damascus cladding and the Aogami#2 core steel. Its spine is chamfered, exposing the intricate damascus layers. This knife employs a stainless cladding, sandwiching the carbon steel core for easier maintenance. Only the exposed edge will be reactive. The blade is paired with an octagonal walnut handle, accented by a horn ferrule.
A 240mm gyuto, the Japanese equivalent of a Western chef's knife, is a versatile tool in the kitchen. Its longer blade excels at a wide range of tasks, from slicing large cuts of meat and vegetables to chopping herbs. The kiritsuke profile of this gyuto is ideal for those who prefer a flatter profile on their chef's knives. This design is particularly well-suited for push-cutting techniques. The 240mm length offers ample cutting edge for larger prep tasks, making it a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs who appreciate a longer, flatter blade.
Overall length: 379mm Blade length (heel to tip): 226mm Blade height at the heel: 50.1mm Spine thickness at the handle: 5.3mm Spine thickness at the heel: 4.1mm Spine thickness midway: 3.1mm Spine thickness 1cm from the tip: 1.1mm Weight: 263g Edge/bevel: 50:50 Handle: octagonal walnut with buffalo horn ferrule Hand orientation: ambidextrous Saya/ sheath: Not included ⎯
