Specifications

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.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away.
