Specifications
The Nigara aogami#2 honyaki sakimaru 300mm is a handcrafted Japanese sushi knife forged in Hirosaki, Aomori by eighth-generation blacksmith Go Yoshizawa of Nigara Hamono. This knife features honyaki construction made from a single piece of Aogami #2 carbon steel, differentially heat-treated for resilience. The hira (blade face) displays a polished mirror finish. The blade measures 291mm with 38.5mm height. This sakimaru is designed for slicing fish for sushi and sashimi, with a pointed tip for detailed work. The single-steel construction will develop a natural patina over time with use. The octagonal ebony handle features a blonde horn ferrule and silver spacer..
Nigara Hamono has preserved the art of Japanese swordsmithing for 350 years across eight generations, originating as sword makers for the Tsugaru clan. Their legendary fifth-generation blacksmith, Kunitoshi Nigara, is celebrated as a national treasure. Eighth-generation blacksmith Tsuyoshi Yoshizawa continues the family tradition, crafting unique and innovative kitchen knives while upholding a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship.
