Description

SPG STRIX is a brand new specialty powdered steel. It is produced by Takefu Special Steel Company. The high hardness, along with substantially finer grain structure and carbides, set STRIX apart from more conventional powdered steels on the market. This paired with advanced forging and heat treating allows for outstanding edge retention without having to sacrifice ease of sharpenability. Nigara Hamono is a distinguished Japanese blacksmithing house with a legacy spanning over 350 years. Founded during the early Edo period, the Nigara family began crafting swords for the Tsugaru clan in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture. Over eight generations, they have preserved and refined their traditional forging techniques, transitioning from samurai swords to high-performance kitchen knives that are celebrated worldwide. Under the leadership of Go Yoshizawa, the eighth-generation blacksmith, Nigara Hamono continues to blend time-honored techniques with modern innovations. This dedication has earned them recognition as one of Japan’s premier knife makers.

Hatsukokoro Shinkiro 210mm Gyuto Aogami Super Nihei Damascus Kurouchi Wenge

Hand forged and ground by blacksmith Takahiro Nihei, a very talented blacksmith who spent some of his formative years training at Yoshikane Hamono in Sanjo. Nihei-san runs his own workshop now and while the Sanjo influence is clear in the robust style with a very pronounced distal taper. Aogami super is famous for it's edge duration, the addition of tungsten and vanadium to it's alloy make for a toothy cutting feel as the edge begins to dull, aogami super holds its peak sharpness well but really gets its duration from it's ability to cut well as it dulls. These have a robust feel but a thin grind behind the edge for smooth cutting but are best suited for those familiar with the demands of a Japanese knife. No twisting or scraping the edge and especially no cutting bones or other hard items.

Hitohira Togashi 240mm Gyuto Aogami 1 Macasser Ebony Dark Honey Horn

Hand made in Sakai forged by dentoukougeishi master smith Kenji Togashi and expertly ground by his son. Stainless clad aogami 1 is a less common combination as it is more challenging to work, but it offers a great combination of the aogami 1 carbon steel's fine edge formation and long edge life with the stainless steel's ease of use. These are super easy to sharpen with a long edge life and smooth cutting feel with nicely finished corners. Slightly larger than usual geometry for a Sakai gyuto, but still following that style. Macasser ebony and light colored horn handle are a nice compliment. *Handle varies from one in photo*

Hitohira Kikuchiyo Manzo 165mm Deba Aogami 2 Ho Wood with Saya

Hand forged and ground in Sakai, the Kikuchiyo Manzo series knives from Hitohira represent excellent Sakai craftsmanship. These are characterized by a forging and heat treatment that offers an easy sharpening, good toughness and excellent edge life. Deep ground ura hollow grind on the inside makes for excellent food release and helps to keep a narrow urasaki throughout the life of the blade and a polished spine and heel are a nice touch. Manzo, son of famed Sakai sharpener Kambei, carries on the family lineage of extremely high quality wide bevel work. Kambei along with a few other Sakai sharpeners pioneered the style of wide bevel on double bevel knives.
