Nigara aogami#2 + shirogami#2 coreless damascus gyuto 240mm

The Nigara aogami#2 + shirogami#2 coreless damascus gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife by Nigara Hamono. This collector piece features a coreless damascus blade, masterfully handforged from alternating layers of shirogami#2 and aogami#2 steels, creating a striking visual pattern. The knife is paired with a beautiful, durable karin wood handle with mosaic pins. It is nicely sharpened with a convex grind and is thin behind the edge without feeling delicate.

The gyuto, a versatile all-purpose knife, excels at a wide range of kitchen tasks, including chopping, slicing, and mincing vegetables, as well as handling meat and fish.
