About the Maker - Nigara Hamono

With sowrd-making roots for over 350 years old, although Nigara Hamono (二唐刃物) is a relatively new knife-maker, the skills passed down from generations allowed them to create unique and stunning knives.

About the Shape - Kiritsuke

The Kiritsuke (切付包丁/切りつけ), like most traditional Japanese knives, is a single bevel knife, meaning that only one side of the blade is ground to form a razor-sharp edge. A double bevel Kiritsuke usually refers to a variation of the Gyuto knife with a Kiristuke-style edge, and is often labeled as a Kiritsuke Gyuto or a K-tip Gyuto.

About the Finish - Mirror

Mirror finish refers to a blade that has been polished to such a high degree that it reflects light, similar to a mirror. This type of finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the knife but also provides practical benefits. It reduces drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The mirror finish is achieved through a meticulous process of grinding and polishing, resulting in a blade with a smooth, shiny, and reflective surface.
